How did I do?

Well done Laddie! Overall, pretty damn good. In time you will look rather more relaxed.

The tie is the only real problem and roughly the tip of the wide bit needs to touch the top of the kilt. This is not an exact science so half an inch either way will be fine.

Have a look for threads about trying to avoid matching things such as bonnet, tie and shirt-----I can't see what colour your hose are on my monitor, blue perhaps? It might open the mind for more kilted looks for you, if that is the way you decide to want to go. It does take a wee while of trial and error to develop your own particular style. Good luck.

Thanks Jock! Your opinion means a lot to me. As to the matching, the hose are bottle green but so it my tie. The bonnet is a dark blue. I've ordered one of those ABF ties and am a bit disappointed that it hasnt arrived yet. The ABF tie should help with the matchy-matchy bit.

Very nice. Good work on the belt.

Thank you for supporting a very worthy charity. I think the ABF tie is about as versitile as you can get. Now if matchy-matchy is the way that you want to go there is nothing wrong with that, but not being too bothered about it all does give room to experiment.

I t seems I either need new eyes ,or a new monitor, or even more likely--- both!

You might want to whittle down your plant badge. It might get caught on something.

The rest of it looks pretty good. Your garters are just right, length-wise.

Looks good. The only thing that stood out to me, was the length of the tie, and Jock has already covered it.

On my monitor, the hose look a shade of green in the first photo, and look to be a black/blue in the second.
