My date and I are of the same mind about matching, and that if the bow tie or regular neck tie match that's good enough for her. The pictures will come soon, I just am slightly afraid to touch anything lest I ruin it before its debut. I've purchased a pair of dark green hose and flashes that match my tartan to complete the ensemble. I don't doubt I'll turn heads at the very least. And I'm still entertaining the idea of wearing the waist plate and 5 button vest together, but I can't decide. I should probably try it all on once to see that everything fits together. Haven't done that, just individually.
