    When wearing ties with my kilts, I like to wear shirts in light blue, gingham, and tattersall. I save the white shirts for business suits.

    I was thinking you could just shorten your arms a tad. Making the sleeves longer could do as well.

    I have studied the picture for a long time and in the end asked my wife for her advice.

    We think that your lawn needs raking, seeding, feeding and watering. Possibly even re-turfing in the bald patches. It will probably take most of the summer. Don't forget to water.

    I hope this helps.

    Regards

    The really sad part is that I just raked last week. It seems an exercise in futility at this point. I have started resorting to just mowing the dead leaves so they become part of the landscape. I take a naturalist approach to landscaping because I'm sure it's wrong to cultivate non native grass the requires fresh water and artificial chemicals to maintain.

    er... I don't think so. With the shirt sleeves pulled up to within a quarter inch of the cuff more than an inch of naked wrist will be showing, making the jacket look waaaaay too small. As it is, the shirt sleeves are the correct length; letting the sleeves down is really the only option.

    I agree with Scott and Sandy, as well as some of the other valid points other members have mentioned. Branch out a wee bit more and bring in more colour and pattern to your attire. I am also not a fan of solid coloured kilts, but you seem to pull it off quite well.

    Cordially,

    I like the jacket - and am probably going to swap out the diamond/square buttons on my Argyle with black ones, I like it so much...
