Downunder, you look splendid. However,

In all seriousness, Lukey, I'm not even kilted (yet) and one of the most important things I have learned here is that in the Highlands the idea of matching things, including leathers is not at all a concern - unlike with Saxon wear where matching seems to be paramount. From what I understand it is almost a requirement to wear black shoes and a brown sporran for day wear (HRH Prince Charles even does it, in fact).
According to that view, Downunder is splendidly turned out. I can only hope that I will be able to do it as well when it's my turn.
Regards,
Brian
I would side with lukeyrobertson on this one.
