St. Andrews day at work

Turpin,

Beautiful kilt and nice outfit (I like all the subtle earth tones). It looks like you did a good job with the jacket. May I compliment you on your taste in belt buckles, obviously only someone with very high standards and excellent fashion sense would choose that one (says Panache as he goes off to polish his ) .

Cheers

BEAUTIFUL!

I wore my Macdonald of Kingsburgh today for the occasion - Kingsburgh is on the Isle of Skye just south of Uig where my ancestors are from.

Thanks for doing the hose research cousin. Just ordered up an Isle of Skye from Kathy Lare - and my first jacket - but thanks for the reminder to pay attention to what hose go with the kilt....maybe some heather purple....???

Waiting on my first pair of Matt's fancy hose...if they're okay might try some purple hose...think he had them in purple...would also go with the USA Kilts casual in the fashion Warrior tartan that's on order.

Boy one thing sure leads to another don't it.

But not to drift away, what a beautiful and proud tartan to wear on St. Andrew's day.

Lookin' good. Probably coordinated flashes would've made the kilt hose more acceptable to ya. Looks like either a pair of the Thistle or the Lochcarron Lovat (olive) green.

Wore my Armstrong kilt today in honor of St. Andrew...

I got those from the Scottish Tartans Museum. Asked for lovat green and that's what came. the shade seemed a bit more green than lovat to me, but what the hey. I believe they are by Lochcarron.

I'm unsure about the sporran also but everything else looks great, hope you had a good St Andrew's Day.

I was given to understand that a mask sporran is acceptable for any occasion. If it's the color combo you refer to, that's something else, and I'll talk to the proprietor about it.

I like the sporran. Without it the outfit would not look as finished. Don't see a problem wearing skunk with that tartan either. Its that whole thing about being from the land of Haggis and Grits I think. *g*

You misunderstand, I'm just not a fan of mask sporrans mate. Tis all. Love everything else. I'd never heard of a mask sporran till I joined this forum so I have no clue about their formality etc.

Sorry.
