| | | Holiday party tomorrow night...here's the look
My work Holiday Party is tomorrow evening. I threw this on real quick today to make sure everything fits, since I've been trying to lose weight, and I really wasn't sure if I'd make it to where the kilt could be worn. I had gained enough that I hadn't been able to wear it for about a year. Anywho, I'd appreciate any feedback. Like I said...I threw it on in a matter of minutes. I know the tie needs to be tied a bit better, and I need to work on getting the garters looking a bit neater. The Argyll and waistcoat our recent acquisitions from J. Higgins, as are the ghillie brogues.

A very sharp outfit!
Though I suggest wearing your sporran just a tad lower to clear the waistcoat.
Cheers
Jamie

Looks good
Congratulations on the weight loss, you look fine, as others have said perhaps the sporran could be a tad lower.

Smashing! I'm not sure if this holds true for kilt waistcoats, but usually the bottom button of a 5 button vest is left open. Just a bit of fashion trivia.
