Tartan tartan tartan!

I likey.

The full mask sporrans are beginning to grow on me a wee bit. Just a wee bit.

Great pics. That full mask sporran is awesome!

**keepoffgrass** · 26th August 06, 10:50 PM

Thanks, the sporran is a "Graigie Original" its artic fox and is costome made. Seems to be great quality but im afraid to wear it because is so white. Gunna have to save it for special occasions. lol She has several sporrans on her site
http://www.sporrans.com/ and she'll customise them to how ever you want.

Looking good, but in my opinion, I would loose the Tartan tie & hat I think is over powering & do not button the jacket it would look better

**Freelander Sporrano** · 27th August 06, 12:54 AM

The casual shot looks just fine.

However I'm in agreement with Dave on this one the hat and the tie need to go and the jacket should be un buttoned. Choose a plain tie from a colour in your tartan. Plain red or green.

two other small things Your ghilles seem to climb too far up your legs. Try keeping them lower.Also I like to see the ghilles tied in a bow on the outside sides of the leg. There's nothing wrong it's just how I like to tie them

Welcome to the forum KOG. The advice you get here is all meant to enhance your kilt-wearing experience. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of kilting and family herittage and order all things tartan. There's a place for all of what you have , but not all together. If you want to wear a balmoral with the kilt, I'd suggest black with a red toorie, or green. Here's a great-priced source:

The Prince Charlie is made to be worn open. Notice in you pic how it pulls when closed.

Spend some time on the Kilting Do's and Don'ts thread under Kilt advice. Believe me, I did when I joined this forum. Also, a great book for the traditional kilt wearer is "So You're Going to Wear The Kilt?" by Charles Thompson.

Have fun with it!
