    I loved you photo's Hamish.

    I too was pondering why You (Of all people) wore brown with blue. But then having never been good at dressing I suppose I'll bow to your superior knowledge.

    My choice would have been black Shoes and accesories and maybe.Black or dark blue hose....Still I loved what you had on I was just puzzeled.

    OK Hamish, far be it for me to question you on colour combinations, I guess I alway had in mind black leather with blue.

    When I wear a Black Watch tartan I tend to wear black leather with it, so brown is OK? I have a lot to learn!

    You mean that those colors don't go together? My daughter often says that I have less fashion sense, wnen it comes to choosing color combinations, then a blind man. But then, what does she know, she calls my kilts "my dad's skirts".

    matching colours...

    This thread raises a very good question: what about those tartans with a lot of black in them, such as "Black" Stewart, and my own tartan, Cumming/Buchan Hunting Ancient? If you follow the old rule of no mixing black and brown, then a brown day sporran, belt and shoes would look "odd" with these tartans.

    Hamish, any thoughts? Loved the snaps, btw -- you "kit" looked great!

    Cheers,

    Todd

    Hmmm, have to work on the fashion sense here. Always, Always brown shoes with a blue suit, never black. :o Shouldn't make any difference if the suit includes a kilt.


    Great picutres Ham!!

    Couldn't agree more. Brown shoes are a must with any blue suit, why should a kilt suit be any different.

    Try wearing Brown leather belt/sporran/shoes with you Black Watch Graham. It gives it a nice contrast, and the black leather is not lost in the dark tartan.
