Cant wait to see what's in store for tomorrow Isaac.....Looking good there.......

I agree with GrainReaper, on the hose. Your wife did a beautiful job knitting them.

Thanks Hawk,
Today is a tad bit boring as it is my typical attire. I was planning on trews, but I seem to have lost weight since wearing them last and they looked very poor on me. I opted instead for normal trousers with my favorite tweed jacket, argyle sweater vest, tie, and a tartan pocket square. Tomorrow, I will be in kilt again!
Here is a poorly taken "selfie."

Big fan of trews here (although I no longer own a pair).
Very well turned-out, sir, with or without the trews or kilt.

Isaac, I see you did not post this in the Advice forum, but please allow me to offer some anyway. A jacket cut for the kilt is a good idea. If your present circumstances do not allow for purchasing a new one, maybe your handy wife can help you convert an old suit coat. Nobody is going to die or to arrest you for wearing a saxon-length jacket with your kilt, but you are denying people the pleasure of seeing your pleats. Think of them.

Thank you for the response and advice! I actually have a nice, vintage, Argyll jacket coming en route from Scotland that I hope to see this week! I plan on also getting another or re-tailoring some in the future. Although my wife is a fine knitter, I am the one who sews.
Isaac
