The waistcoat and hose are both my wife's handiwork. I married well!
I remember talking about it over on scotattire, I thought this must be the shirt we were discussing, it really turned out well.

Matt- you both look great. Hope it was a great turn out and a benefit to the museum.

Matt,

You and your lovely wife look great ...and those hose! WOW

Were you one of the evening performers or did you just attend and enjoy?

Cheers

Jamie

I gave the "Immortal Memory" speech this year. And I provided entertainment by allowing people to stare at my hose looking for the hidden 3-D image. :-)

You both look great, Matt. You definitely hit one out of the park with that outfit! What I like best about it is that is looks timeless.

Absoultely fantastic Matt! I too love the waistcoat. I realize it's your wife's handywork. But, would you happen to have a source of someone who could make one? I'd love ot have one to match my Weathered Henderson kilt, to wear with an Argyll like this.
