    Panache and Davedove,

    Thanks for that - I don't think we know of him over here.

    The more I see of this tartan the more I like it.

    I think the part that jumps out at me the most is the belt. It's too different fromt he other browns and is worn too high. I like to see a little bit of tartan above the belt. It just keeps everything in proportion.

    You might be able to pull off the scrunched down socks if they were thicker but otherwise I agree that hose up would look best.

    The sporran and strap ROCK though! I wish I had your wardrobe I could start selling all the computer hardware I've got around ...but my boss might have an issue with that

    KWC, Thanks for sharing your pictures with us. I personally like the dark solid shirts and hose which makes the tartan kilt stand out.

    May I suggest that the casual look is better with the kilt hose extended to the knee and then "Pushed" down rather than rolled down? I tend to agree with some others that the folded down tops cause them to look "thin".

    For me a lot of the fun of wearing a kilt is experimenting with different looks.

    Best wishes,

    Tom
