    Irish piper

    Here's what I wore at the St. Patrick's Day parade:



    Sorry the photo is bad. This was sent tome by a friend as I didn't bring a camera myself. I'm wearing my SWK saffron heavyweight, gray Heritage Hose, an A_Hay! custom Irish Harp sporran, and a green/blue striped tie.

    It was a fantastic parade with clear, sunny skies and 60 degree temperatures (pretty much the best weather you'll get for St. Patrick's Day in Wisconsin!).

    nice, Greg!

    I also wore my SWK Saffron, but with bottle green hose. I piped for a kindergarten parade at a school.

    Yeah, I realized once I got to the parade that I should have worn green hose...or at least green flashes. Ah well, at least I had it in the tie.

    Looking great Greg, a really sharp outfit there.
    Saffron kilt really suits you.

    Looks good, Greg. Sounds like perfect temperatures for a parade.
