Very smart!
BTW I used to have an outfit that, looking back on it, had way too much green: Black Watch kilt worn with dark green Argyll jacket and dark green hose. I guess I really, really liked green at that time in my life! Happily I don't seem to have any pics of it.

Bottle green is a classic option as is navy blue. I have only had one opportunity to wear this bottle green Balmoral doublet so far but I received a lot of compliments that evening.

Graduated from black( PC & Argyle ) to green (Sheriffmuir) and love the individuality it gives.
Only prob have is that my Crawford kilt BADLY needs taking in now!

I solved that problem for a couple of years by wearing a set of 2" wide suspenders under my vest or jacket.

 The Craig tartan has a grey background. I chose a grey PC, feeling that it complimented the kilt better than black.

The green PCs look great! I would've never considered purchasing one, until seeing the posted pics. I like it! I also had no idea they were available in navy blue or grey as well. Opens up a world of possibilities for me

I think green goes well with the government tartan.

I have been on the fence for quite some time as far as doublets, I'm not really a prince charlie kind of guy, and Ill get my pic up here soon, but I have to ask....what does that look like.....Without the belt being worn with? I am aware that it is traditionally worn with...but I'm just curious is all.

Okay, So I have a Killkenny vest and jacket in bottle green, Paired with the tartan that shall not be named! and Purple Hose.....I'll be getting some diced or argyle hose eventually to go with....but too much green?!?!?! Psshhhaaawwww! No such thing! LOL I may wind up wearing this to the next Burns night up here in MN. If I can get the sleeves shortened.....just an inch too long for my taste.
