    Yeah, from what shows up, it looks great. I look forward to seeing you model it for us.

    I like the khaki bonnet and dark green shirt for a very casual look.

    I think it looks nice. Also liked the Dress MacMillan kilt photos in your flickr album. I've thought about getting a kilt in that tartan down the road.

    I like my Dress MacMillian very much. It is made out of the cotton tartan that the scottish weaver offers. Unfortunately they do not offer Macmillian in cotton anymore. I bought the fabric and had THE KILTMAKERS APPRENTICE sew it up. Having a cotton kilt is really nice when you live here in the south!!!!

    How do the pleats hold with cotton? I have a friend who may get a kilt but is allergic to wool. And for some reason sneers at PV. He's never even worn a kilt. But I digress.

    If I were to change something it would only be the tie. By my eye it looks a bit "off" for one stripe to so closely match the shirt, but if you like it by all means wear it. It's a personal preference if mine , and I don't expect anyone else to see it the same.

    Overall, it's excellent and will look very good.
