Critique my outfit, please

I wouldn't worry too much about the sgian dubh. We live in a free state, and if everyone at your work carries a blade anyway, I doubt it will even come up.

Though you have to admit it is much easier to add a sgian dubh later as he feels out his co-workers and manager's reaction to highland attire.

On placement of the flashes, I seem to have a hard time with that. I've read that they should be at the 'front quarter' of the leg so they can be seen from in front, but I can never seem to get them in the exact same place each time.

Don't worry too much about these. I think they way they are in the picture is great. I was thrilled to see you wearing them more where they are supposed to be, since I'm used to seeing them at the nine and three position all too often. It's certainly nothing to be too fussy about.

i like the first and third options best!

I second the first and third.

Besides, you're not going to wear the thing to the office just once. You need a a second ensemble.

Regards,
Rex.

I echo the above---all pics look terrific. Honestly, I think you have better fashion sense than I. I also have that same waistcoat and I love it, gets compliments with the kilt. For the record, I was just at a Scots wake (where most people came from the formal funeral) so saw lots of fine Highland dress choices. A number of people did have "Rob Roy" sporrans at that event, so I think your sporran is fine along with the rest.

All three look fine to me, but if it's possible, I'd like to see some red in your neck tie, just to bring out the red stripes in the kilt. As far as the Russian pocketwatch goes, I'd say if it looks good, wear it. It would be even better if you can get it running again.
All in all, this is a well-put-together kit. Don't be surprised if you wind up answering all sorts of questions all day, from "the question" to Sir Walter Scott to Scottish miltary history and everything in between. Good luck!

I like outfit #1 with a dash of Panache, but do you have a solid color necktie that highlights one of your kilt colors? This would serve to bring the whole outfit together. IMHO (honest) the top and bottom halves of the outfit seem to not be connected. This in no way detracts from the professionalism of the outfit.

The first photo is fantastic, the second is great, and the third is good.

I like all of them!

My bet is on: "....where are the bagpipes?" as the first question.
