Thank you! Quite right mate, quite right.

I didn't realize there was an ancient version of the hunting tartan. I assume the one I wear (from USAK) is the "modern" if not otherwise labeled?

Yes, there is cousin. It's only made by Lochcarron and only comes in the 16 ounce weight. (strome by Lochcarron). Yours would be the modern variation. I also have the modern hunting colors in the 16 ounce weight as well.

I love all the photos. If I could ask, about how long did it take you to put together your wardrobe? And at what pace did you acquire it/are adding to it now?

My comment applies to all three parts thus far...

You wear it all well!

It took me several years and I tend to add new items here and there. I sketch outfits out first, and then I look at various styles and cuts, color swatches, and refer to photos of many different sources. However, my grandfather and my clan have been the best source of inspiration and knowledge thus far-the gents on XMTS are pretty good as well!!!

Man, now that's style and grace. Your outfits demonstrate wonderfully what I think of when I consider proper highland attire. Even the casual is quite casual without looking silly or tacky.

Concommitantly, your dressy is also quite dressy without appearing like a kilt rental commercial.

Good show, and thanks.

OK, Jock, where are you?

Thank you for the kind comments, I appreciate them!
