My one year anniversary!

Frank: Very nice. Looks a lot like mine. You'll have to post some pics from the Burns dinner. John

Be careful about posting photos like that, Frank you might start a new trend in Highland Dress!

I can imagine somebody saying "hey I saw online photos of a guy wearing a Prince Charlie with a t-shirt and bare legs... it's awesome... I think that's what I'll do for my upcoming wedding!"

But seriously congrats on the PC... there's nothing quite like "dressing to the nines" at a nice Evening function.

Good one Richard, I can always count on a good laugh from you fine XMarkers. That's funny, and no doubt true. Oh, the horror of it all!

I figure the stuff I need to go formal at a reasonable cost to be around 250. That's a tux shirt, studs, tie, belt, buckle, sporran, and balmoral. I have my eye on a balmoral somewhat different from what you generally see, but I like it.



Kilted tonight, very informally, for the local St. Andrews Society annual BBQ, followed by the quarterly meeting. Supposed to be 80+F, muggy, with potential thunderstorms, wind, rain, etc. So run home, kilt up, head to Albany (the big city around here).

Enjoy yer day!

Is it my camera, or is there a round patch on the left lapel of that PC jacket? I never noticed it till I looked at the pic this morning. I'm at work - the jacket is at home! Anybody have any idea?

Frank: It's either a patch of rough material in which to stick the brooch of your fly plaid (worn after the fashion of all eminent men), or it's one of Rocky's USA Kilt's patches that he puts on his casual kilts.

Just kidding. I really have no idea. There's nothing like that on mine. (I'm getting jealous already.) As you surmised, it may just be a photographic artifact. Let us know.

Rocky believes it was just a speck of dust floating in the air when the pic was taken John, and I bet he is right. I'll take a look tonight or tomorrow. Busy tonight, St. Andrews Society.

I sure hope I can pull some cash together for another kilt, this time at the very least in wool. While I would like a tank, I read that historically kilts were 3-4 yard with box pleats. If I could afford a tank, I could probably afford two 4 yard kilts!

I'm leaning towards the tank...

Turns out Rocky was right on spot. Left lapel looks just fine!

Onward!

Thanks John! Gonna have a local tailor take that waistcoat out a bit. My 50R tweed waistcoat fits like I don't have it on. This one fits like I do have it on! Apparently as long as I can get the PC jacket on, it's the right size!
