Saffron Kilt - what are the correct accoutrement?

[Bill]

I would think any of the following would work.

1. Brown shirt, oatmeal hose. brown flashes, brown sporran and belt, brass /gold buckle, kilt pin, brown shoes.

2. Navy shirt, hose with saffron flashes, brown belt, sporran,shoes, metal accents in brass

3. Black shirt and hose with red or saffron/yellow flashes, black leather accouterments, accented by silver pin, buckle, etc. .

4. Bottle green shirt and hose with saffron flashes (I think red or kelly green would work too.) your choice of brown or black leather, with brass or silver accordingly. I myself am parcial to the brown and brass though.

For a jacket perhaps black Argyll or one of the classic Irish jackets. Brown or Green would work too.

For a hat I would definatly go with the Irish Caubeen in the contrasting color.

I don't think I better try to get into the formal attire and leave that to someone
who is more knowledgeable in that area.

I'm sure I've missed something so i ask your pardon for the omission.


Just some thoughts as a Saffron Kilt is in my future too.
