All right.....Brutal honesty requested!

So, after many months and many many dollars, I now have my full highland ensemble more or less complete.

I'm seeking the opinions of all and sundry on any details, that I got "wrong." I recognize that this is open to widely divergent opinion, and I'm fine with that. It's actually what I'm after! Just please provide an explanation of why you disagree with my choices and I'll be pleased!

So, without further ado, let the criticism begin!

Not a thing. Perfection, I think. It very well may have to go into my "Awesome Ensembles" collection.

Regards,
Rex.

The only thing I would add is a nice kilt pin. I also like matching tartan flashes where possible. Other than that - very very smart.

I have one major criticism! No smile! Sorry I could not resist that! In truth, whilst I have my own wee likes and dislikes, you would fit into any formal day event in Scotland. Well done!

My thanks to you all! This is high praise indeed!

I admit I'm a bit proud of the outfit. Now if I could just do something about the ape wearing it!
