    Shocking Panache pics

    We went to a Winter solstice party last night and were met at the door with the request to please remove our shoes. Understand that this was in the Santa Cruz mountains, and it was raining. So, not a very unusual or excessive request.

    Also understand that my dear husband rarely will remove his shoes in public (interpretation: he would wear shoes to bed if I did not draw the line!).

    Here's proof that he does follow the tenet, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

    First, from the waist up, gryphonaire and Panache:



    Here's the shocker:



    But I still love him, despite this raccoon that has come between us:





    Be well,

    I was expecting something out of my past, but he still has the class to match even his pocket hankie.

    I'm sorry Star - but that raccoon is a pandoras box of comedy gold. Consider my self imposed silence on the matter to be your early Christmas present.

    I love the photos, however I'm shocked that his slippers do not match

    Star,
    The both of you look smashing! I am a little partial to gryphonaire’s tartan, but with it pictured along side the IOS.. Well, now I can't wait for my closet to have both of those tartans.
    Thanks for sharing the pics..it looks like a splendid place to have a party!

    I love the kilt! What tartan is that? I've gotta get one of those
    The hose look great too. I posted my recent pic on Facebook and have had nothing but compliments... I think some of my peers are considering kilts now...

    I love the racoon sporran, though it'll cause uproar here with Animal Rights groups in London...

    I LOVE the slippers. And coincidentally you answered a question I had about pocket squares.

    I am getting myself an IOS kilt from USAK next month. You two have made the wait even harder... Thanks a lot! Looks like you have a good time.
