I'm a dork, so I'll just come out and say it:

I really like that tartan!

I agree,...that is a nice tartan. His mother was a MacLean. That tartan is a MacLean of Duart Hunting (VS.) The STA # is 824 and is dated 1842 and was originally from the Vestiarium Scoticum.

Too bad he chose to wear the hunting tartan to his Investiture, when the more appropriate choice would have been the red "Dress" tartan.

Let's give Sir Sean his due. The analytical equation is this: My wife thinks Sir Sean is very sexy in a kilt, I wear a kilt. Therefore, I'm (guess?). I'll be back to the computer in about a half-hour.

When being invested one has two options if one chooses to wear Highland attire.

OPTION 1: Court dress, as per the rules set down by the Office of the Lord Chamberlain.

OPTION 2: Morning dress. In this instance it would comprise a black Argyll jacket with matching waistcoat, white shirt with fold-over collar, silver grey silk four-in-hand tie, dress (or best) kilt, silver mounted sporran, diced, tartan, or dark solid coloured hose, black silver-mounted sgian dubh, black shoes.

Morning dress is to be preferred, and all aspiring X Markers would be advised to have all of the above packed and ready to go at a moments notice in the event of an unexpected command to attend on Her Majesty for the purpose of an investiture.

As has been already said, Sir Sean can wear anything he wants. Be still my beating heart.

I think he does'nt care what we think, HE IS SEAN CONNERY!!!!!!

Me thinks Mr. Connery does just fine without me wondering if what he does is up to my standards. I wish I could pull it off that well.

I should look as good! Me thinks all this nit picking is a wee bit of green-eyes! The guy's in his 70's and looks "Fab", besides it is SIR Connery to you!
