1 kilt 10 looks: John Burgess
Well not quite, but you get the idea.
I was looking over the various threads about the distinctive attire of Pipe Major John Burgess, and I couldn't help notice that he was usually wearing a Ross Hunting kilt (either Modern, or Ancient).
Though there have been many Burgess threads, I thought it would be nice to gather on one post a number of different "looks".
Plain dress (or about as plain as he goes... look at that fantastic sporran!)
In relatively restrained Evening dress, with matching tartan waistcoat, another amazing sporran, fantastic hose, red laces, and whisky!
Here with a red waistcoat, red-trimmed doublet, and lovely vintage-looking buckle and brooch, the finery has been stepped up a notch
Fancier yet: this looks to be the same doublet, buttoned up, and worn with lace jabot. I love that fluffy Angora sporran
And the ultimate, a matching tartan doublet. Note the large oval buckle on this photo and on the one above.
