    Its not actually that shiny, its just the lighting conditions. It does have a bit of a shine to it though, and while I would have preferred it didn't, I had limited time, money and selection, so I had to settle for this.

    Don't forget a sporran! A sporran completes the look; without it you look like a man in a tartan skirt. Just my opinion.

    What he said!!

    My son-in-law wears a kilt without a sporran on occasion and thinking I have some influence on him (because I wear a kilt), a number of people...mostly women...have commented to me that he borders on immodesty.

    A kilt is not a kilt without the sporran.

    I'd say that the outfit looks great--though I have no problem dancing with a sporran, even prefer it. I like the way the shirt and hose complement the kilt.

    But are the shoes really in ogre?

    Ditto on the sporran. I wear mine even if I go clubbing. If it gets in the way, you can always swing it around the side.

    You look great. You have a vest on you don't need a sporran to carry Keys or money. Know how you feel about the not having the money. Go with what you have and have fun.

    The outfit looks good but I agree that a sporran would improve the look

    For $55-60 a Buzz Kidder sporran is an excellent value and will last you for years.

    If that is too much then just get one of Jerry's basic sporrans like this one

    For $15 bucks you can't beat the price (though you should get a leather strap for it instead of the chain one it comes with) .

    Cheers

    I like the look. I agree on the sporran. In my mind, it completes the look.
