New kilt and wedding attire (pics)

[mbhandy]

You look great and after all the comments I just have one about the kilt pin. Put a piece of rubber band behind the kilt when you stick the pin on your kilt. It will help you from losing your pin. I can tell you this from experience. Nothing worse than losing a nice kilt Pin.

You might (since your wedding might be considered a formal event) think about ditching the white hose for tartan hose or at least colored hose.

I have read this a few times (after I had everything ordered, of course) and but thought I was in the clear since these hose are technically cream. I personally like the look of the cream, why is it that they're taboo?

If you like it go ahead and wear them, more importantly does your bride to be like them? That would be the deciding factor for me. There is the traditional view that white or cream hose are not correct, however we all start somewhere, and white/cream hose have become so popular as to nulify the argument, so if you and your bride to be like them then by all means wear them.

There is nothing wrong with wearing cream hose. Some X-Markers prefer dark-colored hose with formal wear. It is up to the wearer to decide what looks best on him.

Well, there's going to be some eye-catching wedding photography in your future, that's for sure. Very handsome look, there.

I noticed that you twisted your laces horizontally, but that is not correct as I understand it. Here's a step by step guide that you might consult.

Congratulations and best wishes,
Rex.

Ah yes, tying the ghilles... Another thing I was totally guessing on based on pictures I'd seen. Thanks for the link! The funny thing is I've been to that website bunches of times for bagpipe related questions!

Looks grand. I have only one thing to say (as the kilt pin and flashes thing has already been said) but it's merely a personal taste I want to share with you.

I feel that it's both more comfortable and looks better when you have your kilt hoses about 3/4 of a handpalm below your kneecap. This is because when you pull 'em up high, you ll only see the kneecap sticking out which looks funny to me. Pulling them down abit gives it a more natural look to me.

The Barry said that you might want to switch your white hose for tartan hose. I agree that could look good, but I personally have no problems with White hose for a PC. (I find it ugly when its worn with a montrose doublet though O_o)

I think that'd be about all!

Good luck and thank you for sharing the pictures!
