A Multitude of Photographical Examples of How I approach Traditional Highland Dress

Kyle,
What strikes me is how well the casual look comes off. Formal is expected to be fancy and so I think we focus on it too much. The more relaxed pics show a level of comfort with the kilt that I appreciate.

Well done, cousin. Thanks for sharing. I don't have much call for dressing formally, so I'm also glad to see some more casual pics...especially showcasing the MacPherson tartan!

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.

The kilt looks to me to be the Armstrong tartan, which is one I also wear.

Quite right Matt, thanks for the correction. I do know for a fact that he does own a kilt in the Murray of Atholl tartan, as well as the Cameron of Erracht, and MacFarlane ancient (shown in the below photo-very similar sett to the Clan Chattan ancient). Thanks for the correct identification mate-must of been confused when glancing at the photo again!

Cheers,

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?

Nicholson's is one of my absolute Pub's in the country.
Awesome beer selection and the best variety of Scotch on tap I have seen.

Your outfit selections are quite nice. Thanks for the pictures.

Great pics and thanks for sharing. Your wardrobe is both admirable and covetable!

I'm also a big fan of threads with many pics. FYI there is a limit on the number of pics per post but not per thread. Nothing categorically wrong with breaking up a photo spread into three threads, but I prefer to put them into three posts within the same thread for the sake of continuity.
