Looks great, especially for off the rack! Flashes, obviously you got enough feedback on that! Good look. And yes, do tell on this kilted adventure!

Many forget to check this point and it is really handy if you can train your wife/girl friend to keep an eye open for you on the "rear view", as you go hither and thither.

Some of us need no training be done, it comes natural for them to gaze upon such beauty!

Thanks Jock Scot, I did not even think to look at that part but I will keep it in mind from now on

Thanks paulsharp, I have not seen them tied in a bow, that is a idea i will keep in mind

...flashes...not flashers (in case you didn't notice from the responses).

Personally not a fan for the poofy shirts, but if you like it, wear it. All in all, not bad for an initial outing.

Thanks piperdbh, I will try it tilted over and see how it works, my first outing will be the Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games the first weekend in June. That is why I went ahead and got a off the rack for now.

Thanks longhunter74. I have a lot of T-shirts but I thought I would try a poofy shirt for a renaissance look for the games.

One thing to remember that these fine gentlemen and women let me know before I began my outings was that you are 120% guarenteed to see all kinds of crazy things when you go out, so don't sweat it too much!

That wont be much of a problem, I did read all the things I could find on how to respond to folks asking question
