    Just to answer a few comments:
    The jacket was removed after one swing of the axe.
    My mate who was sitting out of shot and sampling a scotch, decided the axe needed to be sharpened, after I had done the work.
    The sporran was made in 1953 for the Australian Department of Defence by a contractor in South Australia.

    'Blink of the eye" Modern. It's the low-hose, high-sporran/low-belt, and leather jacket that tell me at this distance. The axe, the boots and the woodpile are the context, for sure, but the sporran and the jacket make it a pose and out of context.

    This pic has been posted here several time before, but how does it fit into the spectrum?

    I think this fits under the section called "Guys who epitomize what women think a guy wearing a kilt is supposed to look like".

    As if everything about the way you're dressed isn't fabulous enough, you also have a bird of prey. You win at wearing a kilt. Chapeau, my good man.

    All I can say about the first picture in this thread is that it’s great to see a man doing something practical while wearing his national tartan.
    Looking good, Mike!
