    It looks good to me as well!
    "A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

    Oh yeah, that one glove thing... worked.. the one hose thing.. doesn't...LOL Enjoy yourself, I bet it will be a fun time...
    You had me wondering there, I always defined "blousing" as adding fullness or looseness -- and Dictionary.com agrees with me:
    intr. & tr.v. bloused, blous·ing, blous·es
    To hang or cause to hang loosely and fully.

    On topic: I think the black shirt and sporran belt vs. chain hangars makes this outfit very classy. You'll be best-dressed at the event, and the ladies love that

    Agreed. When we usedd to "blouse" our trousers in the Army, it was just as you discribed.

    Maybe I chose my words wrong.. but in the Marines.. we pulled the fullness out of our shirts by folding the "excess" material with two "pleats" one on each side, off the back.. making the shirt sit flat in the back, we also used garters to attach to the shirt and they attached to our socks, but this would definately be inappropriate with a kilt..LOL... I still use this method with my shirts, to keep a neat and tidy appearance, if my shirts are not tailored.. We have always refered to this as blousing..in reference to tucking something in.. like the utilities we wore in the Marines.. our trousers required we wore shoes.. and not boots.

    Excellent revision . Glad it worked out. You're absolutely right about the trainers...oversight on my part...that would look weird, I was thinking boots, Docs, or ghillie brogues...
