Inspired by Prince Charles

[Arlen]

I have long been a fan of His Royal Highness The Prince Charles, Duke of Rothesay because of his personality, manner and style. A while ago I saw a picture of him when he was younger and just thought the outfit he had put together was great. So I went out and got a jumper(sweater) in the same style. But I was still overweight at the time so I got one a LOT smaller than I could wear.
Well, since ALL my Kilts fit me again I decided to try it on. It fit really well even though I still have a bit more weight to lose.

To top it off, I was about to alter a waistcoat when Sheep In Wolf's Clothing reminded me of a style of waistcoat The Prince often wears.
Looking at a few pictures to refresh my memory I went ahead and altered it so that it was a mix of two styles of waistcoat he looked very smart it.

Here are the originals and the results.


The waistcoats as they looked on him:




And here am I with my half and half cut:




Here he is with the lovely v-neck:




And on me:



I'm very happy with the results and already planning a few new outfits to go with a certain Kilt I recently ordered...


Now, if only I had an excuse to copy this outfit:

Very nice Arlen! It was the second picture of the waistcoat I was thinking of, their engagement picture I believe. Both outfits look great!
Wear in good health,

Lookin sharp man. Better to emulate that Prince than the "artist" Prince.

You look absolutely smashing Arlen congratulations on the weight loss, I must say that taking a style que from His Royal Highness, Prince Charles is a good idea he certainly knows how to wear the kilt with style, the other Royal that comes to mind when thinking kilted style would be the Duke of Windsor

Everything looks great and congratulations on the weight loss!!

Looking very sharp indeed Arlen - Well Done!

[Arlen]

Thanks for all the compliments. I thought the outfits were pretty classy and I like how they look on my build.
I agree that the Duke of Windsor also had some very nice Kilted outfits. Both men who can inspire a Kiltie almost as much as Hamish.

[ardchoille]

Well done, lad. It's not easy to lose weight and you did a wonderful job on the outfits.

I've always felt that the men in the current royal family dress very well. I particularly like the way they dress while at Balmoral.

That is a very debonair look and you wear it all very well, now I will have to see what vests I have that will pair nicely with my current kilts.
