outfits at The Worlds Friday 2018

[OC Richard]

Here is what my band wore

Very cool!

Are your hose and waistcoats navy blue? It's difficult oftentimes to tell black from navy in photos, even more so in YouTube videos.

But that's the de rigueur competition dress nowadays, and few bands depart from it. Every band in the 2018 Worlds Grade One Qualifiers (and by definition Finals) wore:

-Glengarries, no dicing, black or navy

-waistcoats without jackets, black, navy, or grey (generally charcoal grey save for Inveraray's mid-grey)

-long sleeved shirts, generally white but sometimes pale blue (one band wore a very pale grey)

-dark hose: black, blue (usually navy but also RAF blue and deep royal blue) or grey (usually charcoal but sometimes approaching mid-grey)

-Ghillie brogues

(Just on a personal note we did meet head to head in competition, at Pleasanton in 2005, while I was playing in Misty Isle.)
