    Thanks for the advice Hamish. I didn't have black hose, so I made do with charcoal. I agree, black would have completed the ensemble. I hadn't thought about the sporran "disappearing" with a black cantle, but that makes sense. I may test the hair spray idea Ruanaidh suggested and see if it dulls it a bit. Seems I need to be on the lookout for a "antiqued" cantle sporran.

    Thanks for the advice,

    Dale

    However, I was thinking about your 'sartorial ensemble' as you describe it, and visualising you as part of the choir whilst so dressed ........ and I believe that black hose would, in fact, look better from the body of the auditorium than your charcoal hose. I just feel it would be more in keeping with all the "pengiun suits" around you.

    There certainly are times and occasions when too much 'black' is quite simply too much. On this occasion, however, I would have opted for the too much black look! Try it next time.

    Oh, and very well done, by the way.

    Take care,
    Ham.
