haha. Trust you McMurdo!

Umm.... Umm... OK - there's no 1/4 inch of white showing at the end of your left sleeve. Remember to shoot your cuffs before the shutter snaps. You look excellent!

Looking VERY sharp, KD, well done!

Beautiful tartan!

I think you look the business. But I would perhaps move the kilt pin a smidge, to center it on the yellow stripe in the tartan. And I'm not particularly fond of red leather, so I would choose a different sporran, but that's just my taste. There's nothing wrong with liking it!

I'd say you've got it spot on. And a very versatile outfit, suitable for many different functions. I might try and find a coloured shirt to match one of the tartan colours, for more casual wear.

You look just fine. No need to be shy about going anywhere as you are dressed.

Thanks for all the input! Now I should say that I have some quibbles. I'm not fond of the tie, and I have a solid red silk replacement in the post as we speak. I haven't obtained a pocket squre yet, but I have a good source lined up. I'm also inclined to red, perhaps a textured silk in a slightly darker shade than the tie.

I seem to have lost some weight since the kilt was made, as it tends to slip a little. Not a problem when I'm wearing a belt, but I'll have to move the buckles (or gain five pounds) before taking this public.

Finally, the waitcoat is a trifle snug at the bottom. I was negligent in not having it fitted while wearing the kilt. The tailor marked it as he is accustomed to do, but the kilt is a bit thicker about my middle than my shirt. Lesson learned for next time.

Again, I thank you all for the compliments! You may be assured that every bit of good taste I displayed, I learned from you!
