You look great Tobus. The spats, sporran style, beard, and stoic facial expression, all give a slightly more historical feel. I don't think this is "too traditional" because those touches push your look into an entirely different direction, without being over done. The lack of a jacket also tones it down a bit. Add a dirk, daywear doublet, and/or Glengarry hat and we might have to reconsider
