I agree that a blue OCDB would have been a good choice, too. Probably a better choice to be honest. I had thought about wearing a uni striped shirt, with a bow tie, too. Plenty of ways to mix ivy...

I think how you have the jacket tailored depends on what your kilt wearing end goal is. I try to wear a kilt in a rather contemporary way, so I kept the lines as designed, and just shortened the...

After running errands and such I was off for a walk around Adams Farm with the wife. This required a change in both footwear and top layer. Here it is.

Decided that I’d wear my 8 yarder, today. I have been looking for an opportunity, and while today isn’t the perfect kilting day, I decided to go for it anyway.

Trying something new. A mash up of...

Took a walk with the wife around Adams Farm the other day.

I haven't posted here in a while, but as some one who is heavily tattooed this thread has caught my eye.

I'd say don't get either tattoo. Wanting a tattoo that represents/ honors your Scottish...

My apologies, Chas. I did read into it, and I shouldnt have.

To your other point, I was not directing it at you, it was inserted to illustrate a counter idea (mute point now, because I've reread,...

The rules have evolved and changed over the years, it's nothing new. Some members feel at a relaxing of rule 11 would improve, and somewhat progress Xmarks. Some don't.

But to suggest some people...

It is true that here are many other places on the net to discuss weapons, but I don't think anyone is advocating a sub-forum that is entirely weapons, rather a sub-forum which is a...

I've followed this thread, and have been surprised that no one has made mention of the "weapon" beneath their kilt. :lol:

I'm with Tobius on this one; make a sub-forum where weapons can be...

The idea of a kilt as a hiking garment was what drew me into the kilt world. Not on the trail or in a kilt as much, but planning to change that. X marker Andrew Breecher has done a lot of kilted...

If by context you mean the elements of ones assumed arms, according to their original meaning, appropriately capture the essence of the individual I agree. And that would be very cool.

That is indeed a more democratic way of saying it. Thanks.

My understanding is that here is the US arms don't mean anything, except to those who have them. Just hire an artist to create custom arms for you, hang them over he mantle, and enjoy.

That is a very nice tartan. You wear it well.

Never heard of that before. :oops:

Have fun, Tess.

Got the snow cleaned up, and it's time to relax. The average depth was about 24", with drifts to about 36". This was my spaniel's first significant snow fall, and she loved it.

I hope all of the North East rabble is staying safe and warm. We are getting snowed in pretty good here right now. The accumulation isn't too bad, IMO, but the winds are pretty bad. Lost power for...

There is quite a long thread floating around about this. It wasn't too long ago, so you should find it easily.

I'd say your choice of hat depends on what your goals are. If you are trying to...

That's a beautiful tartan.

As for dress advice, generally it is accepted that we follow the same standards of men's wear. To that end try to break up the top half a bit to not look so monochrome....

Nice. That looks really nice with the red sweat. And a cute little partner in crime, too.

I don't know about room odor, but I will say that I prefer to smoke a Balkan. As a cigar smoker, too, I find that many pipe tobaccos don't have enough flavor for me, but Balkan sure does and it's...

Very nice. I like that is has almost a weathered look.

The LL Bean Game & Fish Cookbook has a haggis recipe in it. Sounds good, but I rarely eat it, so I'm not too keen on making it.

Wow. Rocky and I must have been typing our responses at the same time; his response wasn't there last night. Anyway, I guess there is a bit of history, isn't there? I stand corrected.
