Sweaters

Sweaters are great accessories to wear with the kilt -- and are especially wonderful on chilly days.

Here is one that my talented wife just finished knitting for me yesterday. I was very happy to give it its debut wearing today.

Very sharp sweater, Matt. I’m a big fan of wearing sweaters with my kilts. Really like the look of the photo.

I often wear a sweater with my kilts. They are comfortable and can be used when one must wear pants (can I say that here?). Thanks for the timely reminder, Matt.

The sweater is a very important part of my kilt attire wardrobe, as is a fleece. Looking very smart there Matt.

Very nice sweater Matt. I also use sweaters as a casual kilt accessory. I use all sorts of sweaters, v-neck, round neck, hood, thick and thin, but I don't have a cable knitt sweater. I just have to get me one of those.
Very cool effect on your picture by the way.
Skċl!

Nice sweater Matt, compliments to you and the wife.

As an aside, did you photoshop that photo by either solarizing it or Black & White then colorizing it before posting, or is it simply my display that is yielding that unusual overall visual effect?

I'd dare say its the photo "effect" & not your monitor

Nice sweater Matt! Kudos to your wife!
