Is he also holding a matching tartan bonnet of some sort in his hand?

A simple black bonnet with red tourie I'm fairly sure.

That's an excellent look Robert. It's clean, classy, a little understated (in a good way). I like the banded collar shirt. I used to have several of those, but they became rags years ago.



I think I will steal your "look." I can't completely pull it off though...I don't have the hair for it. I don't have hair at all on top.

This is an interesting thread with a lot of unique ideas and good inspiration.

Hopefully this isn't a Repost in this particular thread...it's from the cromach thread:



To my eye, that's lookin' good. Very effective use of a bright, bold tartan!
Part of me wonders if he saw our chit-chat on the tartan jacket!

Robert, your #5 photo has the same effect...very nicely done.

I'm liking the subtle check on jacket and vest more and more. It's a dark line on The MacGregor's jacket, and Robert has a similar style in a couple photos...windowpane on the vest, solid jacket.

Love this jacket/waistcoat.

That reminds me... I had a dream the other night that that cromach was my kilt-pin! Slightly smaller, but it still took me forever to work out how to attach it. Funny, I thought it looked familiar...

I love the hose too!

@Robert #5, Yes, love the outfits! I almost didn't notice the landscape you are in! Anyway, very naturally combined, I like it very much!

Cheers,

Michael

The gentleman in the photo (5th photo down in first post in this thread) is John D. Burgess, a piper of some renown (I am damning him with faint praise here--he was a giant of 20th century piping). His elegant attire shows a mastery of color and combination (note the line of dicing on his hose--perfect--and the red lacing of his ghillies). He seems very well at ease and nicely kitted out. The ease might have something to do with what's in the glass.

Right. There's a good thread about him here:

All accounts I've run across show that P/M John D. Burgess was a very snazzy dresser from early on. Gordon Walker seems to exhibit this same concern with what he wears (and is a very fine fine piper, himself).

Clan Chattan, Mark. The man lives in Badenoch and was among the hundreds who walked through Inverness with you in 2009.

This is the Kilt I have still for sale, hanging in its garment bag.

I feel that I have a pretty good handle on all the different levels of highland dress after a couple of years here...but I always like to see new pictures. Most of you out there have joneses for new kilts...not me! I have a jones for some vest and jacket combinations like Robert has!

Me, too! Lady Chrystel can make it happen for us. They are on the 'LIST'.
