Review my Attire 4

**artificer** · 29th August 10, 07:15 PM

Hello there, Sir. Could you direct me to the local pub? WHAT!?! you're not a Scot?

You look fantastic! And Standard has put his finger on something. The term "alive". I don't know exactly what it means, but I see it in your new pictures, just as I see it in the pix of Jock Scot.

A special congratulations should go out to Jock. He's the Mad (Plaid) Scientist behind this particular experiment, and come away with a win on his first go.

Cheers and huzzas to you both.

As nice as the entire ensemble looks, I think that the picture without the coat is my favorite. The tattersal shirt, brown waistcoat, and regimental tie presents a very natural look that is both comfortable and elegantly simple. Nice work!

ps - I do agree with JSFMACLJR about the bonnet placement. I'm just saying..

You would make anyone who is debating whether to kilt or not to jump on the kilted bandwagon....

Ken,

Very nice. There are only three things that would make me think that you are American and not a native Highlander:

1. Your Balmoral seems to be worn to far to the back of your head. Pull it down so the grosgrain band is about two fingers width above your eyebrows.
2. Switch the brown shoes for black balmoral-style full brogues (wingtips for us Americans).
3. All your attire looks new!

I particularly like the red hose. Very nice!

Cordially,

David

* Nevermind about the brown shoes; glad Jock liked it.

Mr. Carter...

I like your whole set-up... Looks Great!!! But I really like your Sporran as it is alot like mine except that yours is two-tone... and I really like that alot. I also like your Tweed Coat and Vest as they also blend nicely with your Sporran. Could you give us some close-ups of each item of your attire with some descriptions? I'd like to know about your choice of Tartan pattern also.

Agian... it really looks Great!!!

Thanks...

I agree with all the positive comments. You look great! (the look also seems very natural).

As for the black shoes... that will definitely make you look more British (to be honest, I don't really get the fear of any colour but black footwear that seems to be a common sentiment in the Isles). I think you should stick with the nice brown brogues... I mean, lets face it, not everything from Britain is above reproach...

Cheers!
