    September Wedding

    I decided to mix the kilt outfit up a bit this past weekend for a friend's wedding. I have been a pretty standard white dress shirt kind of guy with my dressier nights out, so I thought that mixing it up would be fun.

    I decide to wear my machine sewn 13 oz Lochcarron Weathered MacKenize (from scottishkilts.net) to the weddding instead of the handsewn 16 oz Ancient Watson. I paired itwith my black dress shirt and dark silver tie (which matches the kilt quite well suprisingly).

    I am sure some will find fault somewhere, but I thought it looked quite sharp and I got quite a few comments. I even had some of the groom's family taking my photo as they had never seen a man in a kilt. What are you guys in Georgia doing wrong?

    Anyway, here is my lovely wife and I before leaving for the wedding.



    Sorry about the quality of the picture, someone else was using my new camera and the auto focus was too much for them.

    I think the outfit looks very well put together Colin! I really like the dark shirt and lite tie and that Tartan is beautiful.

    I think it works fine, as a guest at the wedding it fits nicely.

    Who's going to find fault? Looks sharp...is sharp. Look at it as helping to create that Twenty-First Century North American Kilted Style.

    Colin - You did it right! Good color choices! Brings the kilt into the 21st century very nicely.

    Of course, standing beside a beautiful lady always makes us men look better!!

    The words "contemporary" and "handsome" seem to fit nicely to describe your attire.

    If this is the men's department, where are the kilts?
