co-ordinate....me?

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

Have to agree with everybody! And along the lines of checking the rear, it is a must before leaving the restroom where the stop required "paperwork"! Wouldn't want to have some pleats hung up or creased the wrong way! But I still worry if somebody sees me checking!

[Southern Breeze]

It's the same here.I pay very close attention to what matches before I go out kilted.I do the same for work.Back in the days when I wore pants,I never really cared.

[Big Paul]

Indeed... and not only that, the kilt is the only garment I've ever worn that I felt compelled to do a 3/4 turn and look at my butt in the mirror!

OK, I need to clean my screen again!!! I must admit I do it too...

I have even went to the extreme of developing a kilt schedule on an Excel spreadsheet for what combinations I'm going to where on any given day! I was never this concious about color combinations until I started wearing kilts.

Oh CRAP!!! does this mean I'll have to learn Access when my kilt wardrobe reaches a certain density? Maybe there is a database application I can run on my XBox.

And yes to the original question-I'm much more aware of what I'm wearing now that I spend so much time kilted.

Bryan...but I still love my tye dye...

Oh good. I thought it was only me. I can't imagine standing in my closet for 5 or 10 minutes deciding which hose goes with what shirt while wearing troosers.

I guess I'm a little weird... I've always liked to match.. I must admit that it's gotten far more accute since getting into kilts!

Same here, but almost anything goes with blue jeans. But when I was ordering kilt hose the other day (I forget who posted the link to Sierra Trading Post, but thank you) and I'm thinking "Alright, that one should go with the Robertson Red, and those two with the Red or the Hunting, but I need a blue and a gray to go with the shirts I'm likely to wear ..." :sad::-?

Makes me think I should just toss on a UK, my Pendleton plaid shirt in Robertson Red, and a pair of hiking socks - and if anyone asks, I'm a dyslexic Scotsman!

I've been kilted for 3 1/2 months and have my 10th kilt on order. I've become very concious of what shirts, and hose look good with certain kilts. I have even went to the extreme of developing a kilt schedule on an Excel spreadsheet for what combinations I'm going to where on any given day! I was never this concious about color combinations until I started wearing kilts.

For your own sanity, put down the mouse and step away from the computer!

Stay calm. Dr. Freud is on his way.

It's been the same with me macg, identical experience. I never cared about what matched, colour blindness also hindered me, but Hamish and my wife have helped a lot there.

What is the reason for all this change? I guess we all want to look good in a kilt an make kilts look good!

I think you're right about that. I was just looking at a couple of UKs on ebay - seperate auctions, two sizes - 44 & 40, from the same seller. In each, he said he had bought the UK and then dieted out of it.

As I read this, I thought about how many times I have seen that same thing said on ebay, and how I did the same thing with my first UK - wore it twice, and then dieted right out of it.

I think that once we're cognizant of being the center of attention, we start paying more attention to the image that we put out there.

[MacMullen]

Good timing. I just added seven pics to my gallery, they're on page 6. Used the timer delay thing to take pics of the "outfits" I've worn to work the last two weeks.

As anyone who views them can see I'm still struggling with coordinating things... but AM working on it.

Ron, glad to see that someone still wears baja jackets besides me. 8-)

On coordination, I'm stressing more about what color my kilt hose should be. Does the natural wool color work with everything? Or should I get a pair of dark wool hose to go with my Black Watch?
