    Aye, you do wear it as described. On the other hand, judging from this pic from yesterday afternoon, it appears that a lot of other Xmarkers may be equally "guilty":





    It was great to finally meet you, by the way, as well as the others who were there!!

    Those who most readily give opinions/advice tend to be those least qualified to do so. Banging your head against a wall is more productive than arguing with someone who can not be proven wrong.

    I must say gentlemen, that it is a long time since I have seen a group photo of kilted gents where all the kilt hems are, what I would say, of a very acceptable length. Great photo and a toast to all of you

    Hmm. . .I also just noticed that, apart from Panache on the right, we're all wearing garter ties rather than flashes with our hose.

    Indeed...I made my own. I know for a fact that Jamie (Panache) does own tie garters as well as the flashes that he was wearing this weekend.

    Those standard red flashes were given to me by a very good friend long before I got my first kilt and have been a staple of my wardrobe for years. I do have red garter ties from the STM but alas they weren't quite the same quality (they unravelled a bit) as my often worn lovett green ones or yellow pair also purchased from Matt. So I seldom wear them.

    This picture was taken shortly after my SCD class' demonstration team performance as I am still wearing my white ghillie shirt.

    Personally I much prefer my standard attire



    Cheers

    Other than the jerk patrol, it sounds like it was a good time. The last time I was at the Pleasanton Games, was 2004. Always had a good time there.

    Not to mention that the hose are all "acceptible" height, not too low or, heaven forbid, too high.
