Ted, you always pull off the best look of any one around. Well, almost anyone at least.

Thanks for sharing your photos from Scotch-Irish Day.

It's OK Ted, I can take it.

Now that you have signed off on the wide brim, straw hat for use with the kilt, the universe is back in balance.

Well, back when they held the huge parties with a piper, there was a great deal of booze. They have become a dry household since, and this is the main reason the parties have dried up.

I don't drink, so not a big deal to me.

* Phil, I didn't explain that enough in the first post. No offence intended, and I apologize. Now that I realize that it is an offencive title, I have put a note in the beginning of the post explaining what I ment. *

Thanks, Bloke. I am always worried that I have mixed up the order of the pictures.

And thanks everybody for your replies. I did have pictures of last years Day, but I never got them in their own thread. They had flat caps and white hose with the kilt, though, so maybe it was for the best.

I hadn't been out and about in a kilt since last November, so I noticed a few things.

First, it is in the low nineties F (mid thirties C) here right now, and it was comfortable to wear the kilt. The hose are fine, heat wise on the legs, but I think I am just not used to the feel of them on my feet.

Second, My belt slid upward in the back several times from sitting in the SUV seat. I didn't have any problem with getting in the SUV, but the sporran and seatbelt got tangled once. At dinner, we sat in a booth, I just took the sporran off and sat it beside me, so the cloth I put over my lap would stay there while I ate.

Nice pictures Ted - love the brown color scheme!

Aha - this is my 900th post.
