OK! Here are my new black-and-red diced hose from Skye Highland Outfitters. They fit perfectly and they are just the right thickness to indicate quality and warmth, without being too thick. Worth every penny!

My day plaid I bought from the widow of Edgar MacIntyre, the Drum Major who posed for the Dewar's scotch ads many, many years ago. He was both a drummer and a piper, btw, and a friend of my former pipe instructor. Anyway, yes, I know my plaid weight should be the same as my kilt (which it isn't), but I got what I could get at a good deal! That's trad enough for me!

Many thanks to Ms. Zardoz for snapping the pic and sending it to me.



AND, the green garters are from STM!!!
