Kilted Christmas

[Mr. Kilt]

Thanks for the comments, guys! I really blew everyone away when they saw me yesterday. My mother hasn't seen me totally decked out in a suit since I got married almost 9 years ago. She was stunned to say the least.

Valencian Kilted...looking forward to seeing pics of your New Years eve look.

Avonlea22...yes, that is supposed to be the Irish National tartan. The kilt was made by Chris at Southern Celts when he was still in business. It's the closest I have to a proper "tank". 9 yards of heavy 60/40 wool blend material, sewn-down pleats, heavy leather straps with solid buckles...yeah baby!!! 8-)

Hamish...thank you for your advice on the outfit. I know I can count on you to get the right critique when it's required. I've been on the lookout locally for a bottle green wool tie, but have yet to find one. I may have to expand my search to the online community. I'll try wearing my black hose tonight to reduce the "split in two" at the waist effect. Pics will be posted later.

Email these folks, Al. I know they have wool ties in plain colors.... because I bought mine there.

Cheers,

What folks? Because I'm interested, too.

I just posted this pic in another thread, but I'll post it here as well. I wore pretty much the same thing tonight as I did yesterday, but changed over to my black hose. It certainly helped the whole "split in half" look that the green hose made.

Colin...as much as my wife thinks I'm pyschic, I'm really not. What is this link I'm supposed to know about? ;)

You must be psychic, because I haven't even responded to this thread yet

The black hose look good Al, as does the entire outfit.

Not only am I not pyschic, apparently I need to go back to school to brush up on my reading skills. How I managed to confuse you with Blu I'll never know.

Carry on. 8)

Easy mistake, we are both dashing looking bearded men in kilts
