Entertaining the Troops

Smartly turned out, nicely done.

Technical question - I play guitar kilted but haven't attempted it with my Argyll jacket on - do you not find the right cuff catches?

I take it that is the new grey Argyll and plain sporran you picked up the other day? It's a good look and the lighting in the pic shows off the leather buttons a bit more clearly than the other photos you posted on the "picking the right jacket" thread.

I've worn both Argyll and PC (different occasions) -- I find that the buttons are far enough around on my arm that they
don't touch the guitar. What I have found to be a problem with jackets is that the sleeves on most are just too slim -
but that's Saxon jackets as well. I haven't found any that are big enough to be really free for movement.


A belt with a kilt and guitar can be a problem, though. When I'm not wearing a waistcoat for an informal look I turn
my belt buckle off to the left side to make sure that it is clear of the back of the guitar. It's not a problem when seated,
but standing it's a bit of a worry. My guitar has taken several knocks and scratches in sessions over the years, but
I try to keep from adding to the damage.

To the OP, what was the guitar? (I know it's a kilt forum, but I'm interested in seeing what sort of guitars others are
playing.)
