One kilt, several looks. A canny Scot's take.

Nicely veiled. Almost.

'Nay' button needed.

On the contrary, my friend. Nothing was veiled. I am very much appreciative of Calgacus for showing us how he does it. Silly me, I thought the thread was meant to prompt discussion. Most of his choices are perfectly aligned with what I would choose. Thankfully, there is still room for all of us to express our individuality a little bit around here. I thought his choice of hose was daring and I'm still deciding what I think of the risk. I was hoping my comment would prompt some others to weigh in and that I might learn about an option I hadn't considered. Perhaps I should have just quietly wondered where the lines are regarding patterned hose and formal wear.

I complimented his choice of shirt and lamented my inability to find one in my city.

On the Glengarry, Calgacus acknowledged that it was the less typical (although perfectly acceptable) choice while stating that he seldom wears a bonnet but that he feels this type looks better on him. My question was an honest one. I don't live in Scotland. I had a reason for asking as a good friend of mine prefers the Glengarry also and I'm sure one who wears it in Scotland would notice when others do. I also own a Glengarry and the responses might just prompt me to take it out of the drawer once in a while.

My question on the sporran was also an honest one. I have the same outfit and the same sporran choices and given the fact that so many commented less than favourably about my semi-dress sporran (so much that I bartered it for a day sporran) I am now puzzled about which sporran works better with the black Argyll and long tie and, if both do; how do I know which to choose when?

I don't know about you MacKenzie, but I'm here to learn and share what I've learned. I ask questions and provide input. If you thought what I wrote was a veiled insult, I'm afraid you are seeing an esoteric subtext that simply isn't there.
