New sporran, new outfit

A great looking kit. I trust the folks at work were pleased.

I am very impressed - the whole outfit is just the way it should be and the sporran is quite exceptional.

Regards

Well done, laddie. Said in my best Jock Scot voice.

Well done, laddie!

Nice work there too.

What! No bolt of lightening?Is the ground not trying to swallow you up?

So how do you feel with your new fashion statement?

Thanks everyone for the comments! I may have to post better pictures of the sporran. It is amazingly beautiful. The few at work who know I have lusted after HRH's sporran (I have pictures posted in my workspace) were more than impressed with it.

I've been wearing kilts to work enough now that people don't stare anymore. I've gone with everything from very casual (kilt and company polo, or kilt and a sweater) to very dressy (kilt, argyle jacket and waistcoat, and tie). The company is now foreign-owned and places high emphasis on variety in culture, so if anyone gets too rude I just ask them to accompany me to HR to discuss it further. ;)

This outfit wasn't a huge leap for me, though I had never worn a patterned shirt AND a striped tie at the same time. I will certainly do it again! I'm sure I can get a little more bold with the ties - it was really hard to find one that didn't clash horribly with at least two of the colors in the Price of Wales. My other kilts are all more "normal" colors.

Great outfit!!!!. Looks sharp, its great to see artificer's work from concept to finished product and in the owners hands.

That's a smashing combination and well done on the sporran. Congrats!

The wonderful sporran is an excellent addition to an excellent outfit. Well done!

Very classy. The ties in place of flashes are a nice touch. Good looking sporran too. Is it as functional as it is nice looking.

adsmguy, you look the BIZ! For starters, I love the Prince of Wales tartan... I wasn't familiar with it until I saw you wearing it, but now have added it to my "green (with envy) list".

Love that the hose, jacket, and tie don't match, but coordinate, in a not-American way. As a guy who bought 7 black suits in a row (and the others all fitted, so it wasn't a replacing situation) I know the discomfort that comes from not MATCHING, and you pull it off like a pro.

As a craftsman, there is little in this world as rewarding as the satisfaction a client gets from a product I've made. I'm thrilled beyond words at your pleasure with the sporran, and the reception it's received in your workplace (ooohs and ahhhs are always wonderful, aren't they?

).

BTW: Cheers, mate, on the new company policy of diversity and cultural inclusion. Nothing like a top-down mandate to be 'more YOU'- ie bust out the kilt. I'm making it my life's goal to never have to wear tr*users again... I'll let you know how it goes.
