Take care,

Not to hijack this thread, and this may be an old topic, but with 85 kilts, I'm curious as to how many accessories you have?
Care to share that?

Many thanks, Alex.
Ah, but this is what happens with colour and monitors: the "charcoal grey hose and sweater" you must be seeing, are actually a sort of dark khaki green which shows very accurately on my monitor. They don't match the kilt, but they tone with it very well.
As you so rightly say: perfect for Estate wear - especially when out with my faithful Ghillie.
Take care,
Ham.

Heck! Interesting question! You will have to give me a little time to answer that one, as I don't keep a running tally. I will get back with some figures in a day or so. Sporrans, Prs of hose, Flashes - that sort of thing. OK. Watch this space.
Take care,
Ham.

Not very deep Brian. About 1½", but the kilt still has a good swing to it. I have no complaints, and I'm reasonably fussy!
Take care,

Beautiful kilts Ham, especially the tweed, but the photo I love the most is the one that shows you "kicking up your heels!" Its good to know there's life in those legs yet!

Thanks, Phil. Yes, there is still a little life left in them (!), but I cannot dance those steps every day. As it was, I should have been on the ball of my right foot in that photo, but I just couldn't make it. I was lucky to have been able to point my left foot as much as I did too. Growing into middle-age, as I am, is no fun!!! 
Take cae,
Ham.

I was just telling tattoobradley the same thing. You can accessorize with the best, but when you have so many I guess it makes it a bit easier ha ha You looked great Ham!

Well, Jamie, of the four of you I have met only Colin and, yes, I would agree with you - he is but a delightful child! 
Take care,
