Kilt Police – Chime in Please

[Raptor]

Looks fine. As has been said, maybe a formal or semi-formal sporran, & perhaps a bit of colour in the tie. Not neccessary though, you look sharp enough to me.

Sean,
The outfit looks great. There are things you could do, but aren't a neccesary. These suggestions would just be the beginning of many endless possibilities that you will at some time try. Your Tie; is it black, or just look black on my moniter? You could go with green too. Oatmeal colored hose would look great too, and would match your shirt nicely. If you wanted to really kick it up a notch, I'd suggest a white shirt, with the black tie, and black hose. Of course, for the wedding, as you've implied may be quite casual, the outfit you've modelled will be perfect.

Good Job!

Looks good, the Tartan Police can get too fussy if you let them. There are minor details they see that no-one else will. And the others will find amazing things and legends to question you with.

Relax, and practice wearing it. Basics are learning to sit, the weight and location of the sporran helps here, and to tie your laces. Surprising how scary that can be to people behind you. Was at a formal restaurant last night and suddenly learned about sitting into an armchairs in tight spaces. Thankfully, I saw that one coming. Get advice from the missus.

I agree with cavscout move the flashes up a bit overall I really like the look

Sean,
Your outfit is fine if you get to formal you will upstage the bride
You don't want to do that
But as Nathan Lane said "One must have a little colour"

Sean,

You look terrific. You could wear this outfit at any hour of the day or night, just fix up the details as we know you intend to do.

If it were an evening wedding, you could substitute a black bow tie---preferably a real one that you tie yourself ---and the Agyll would take you right to formal status. But that is not necessary. With the necktie, it's equivalent to a business suit, and that is "proper" for any black-tie occasion.

You can play with a different colored tie, white shirt, and so on. All would be fine, but you're just fine as you have begun. Well done!

Looks great as it is, you can experiment with all sorts of colours, & find whats go's the best with any kilt.

ok ..I think you look great!

from what I've been told inthe past is this....

the bottom of tie should reach the top of the belt

the sporran should be ONE handwith between the bottom of the belt, and thetop of the sporran.

flashes should be about 1-2 fingers width betwen the tibia ( the really straight bone in the front of your leg) and the inner flashing....another way to look at it is the inner flashing edge should line up with the apron edge( and just make the other one matches)

no belt with a vest

and only pipers wear stark white hose this one doesnt really matter but i figured I'd include it

NO POPCORN TOPS!!!! ....this is just my personal thought

and again you look great!

the best part about ANY law/rule is its open to interpretation
( if it wasnt ..lawyers would be out of a job!!)

so if anyone says anything you can tell them " this is how I interpret that rule!!! "


edit: ...lookin gat your pic again ...the only thing I would change is to drop the top of your hose about 2"
this does 2 things...
1 it seperates the kilt and hose better

2 it makes your calfs look a little bigger ( I dont know why but women like big calfs)
