Somehow I don't think a well coordinated pocket square is going to compete with my sexy wife!
sigh
There are a few interesting differences in the internal construction of Steve's Freedom Kilts kilts and traditionally made kilts like those that Barb makes. For instance Steve didn't put or need a liner on my kilt. But I will not go into the details because...
(1) I don't want to spill Steve's secrets
(2) As a non tailor /seamstress I would undoubtedly screw up trying to describe those details.
I will say that Steve has looked at the debate of whether or not a kilt belt should be fitted through the loops in back with amusement. He told me that (1) They shouldn't be (2) Almost everyone does, so therefore (3) he has designed his Freedom Kilts to structured in such a way that they can be worn with a belt through the loops without pulling on the kilt.
That said, back to pictures
Here is my Isle of Skye Freedom Kilt being worn in a dressy manner.


Well my lovely wife, I think that my new Freedom Kilt dresses up pretty nicely, the Fergusson Britt sporran, Braemar Jacket, and my new ghillie brogues look rather smart!
Top that!
More to come folks
Cheers
Jamie

Well, I'll take your "dressy manner" and top it with...
A baby grand piano!


Ha!
Love you dear.
Be well,

WOW! That fourth and fifth picture almost looks like it was taken in a back dropped studio.
I must say that the Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess looks lovely in her mini kilt, but your kilt is just as nice, the kilt mind you.

He's always complaining about me stealing his pirate kilt pin, well....he stole that snake kilt pin from me. It's just a simple gold (fake, of course) lapel pin that he took from my (limited) jewelry collection.
Be well,

Congratulations.
I swear I didn't look at the pictures... But I did read the captions.

Wonderful photos, both of you. Welcome to the Isle of Skye club Jamie, the photos in the woods are great, I'd like to see a close up of the kilt pin you have there, as I'm just nosey. I could not help but notice that you co-ordinated the leash with the outfit.

Freedom kilt looks nice, I'm impressed. I do have trouble telling for sure in the pics, as neon colors have issues with cameras, but does that pink death bring out the wifes hair the way it looks like it might?

Matty,
