    Another vote for motorcycle jackets and kilts here.

    I personally think that the short waisted jackets work well with kilts.

    For me, I always wear black leather accessories with mine (and more modern sporran) but overall your outfit works.


    I'm still working my way up to the Islay style whiskies. I just filled my flask with Glenfiddich 15 for a party later tonight.

    Sounds like it was a fun evening!

    Cheers

    Well, maybe not as fun as this and the next few evenings. I have a two-thirds full bottle of a Lagavulin Special Reserve/Distillers Edition (or something like that) that was brought to me directly from Scotland by a friend of mine who went to veterinary school there. I don't think they sell this here in the States.

    I was re-reading P1M's treatise on malts over on another forum and ran across the admonishment that once a bottle is opened it should...for best taste...be killed within six months. Especially if it is close to or more than half empty.

    I had been saving this malt for "special occasions" but now I see that this Yuletide season may be special enough. May have to be.

    Yet another vote for the black motorcycle jacket. I think the classic offset zipper style goes very well with a kilt. I wear mine often (especially since I mostly wear textile jackets while riding now).

    Compliments on the 'stache too. I miss my handlebars.

    From another Talisker fan, you look pretty sharp to me. In the true Scots way, you found the kit to do the job, which may not necessarily be quite right, but it does the job nevertheless. Well done!

    "All the way" From the home of Harley Davidson, I think the bike jacket looks great with the kilt.

    I really do like the tastings, regardless of what type of jacket is worn.

    Wait, kilts, whisky and fly fishing....it can't get any better than that.

    I have an Orvis not to far from me....is it a store thing? How did scotch get mixed in that?

    I need to know! I might be missing something!

    I don't think it at all fair that you have an Orvis on the east side, and we don't. Grrrr.
