| | | Walking outfit
My lovely Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess converted a sturdy dark brown twill blazer for me into a kilt jacket suitable for going out walking as seen in this thread. http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/j...001/index.html
Today I thought I would put together a good outfit for going for a long stroll.
My main thought was to come up with somehing good looking but comfortable on a long walk (hence the soft cotton shirt, Sperry Top-Sider shoes, and the traditional garter ties from the STM). I like how the two tone shoes match my Freelander sporran.
What do you think?
Cheers
Jamie

Apart from THE hat you look pretty smart. My father used to have a watch chain of the style of yours.He used to run it through the waist coat button hole directly between the pockets to make things less easy for pickpockets. |

Very nice Jamie - I love the "ticket pocket" its very hacking jacketey if that's even a word...
Up here in Idaho, proper walking around attire includes wool scarves, wool hats, mittens, and your sturdiest wool hose. Today's hight temperature was 6 degrees (f) - sigh.

So, I'm guessing that Panache is wearing a waistcoat, or is the watch in the jacket pocket?
I'm adding up that the shoes are the black and brown shoes. That's very interesting. Is this with the Half Lamont , Stillwater kilt, as well?
