So how is this?

Thanks for the links. I love progression on the outfits.

This was a very formal evening event. Full medals (which is white or black tie) or black tie dinner dress was on the menu. I guess the picture makes it hard to see but I was wearing a PC & vest.

The fly plaid though is as wide as it gets. It is very narrow, almost a scarf.

I am going to get some nicer kilts as well as some of the more modern ones including (if I can make it work) some X-kilts. Since a nice formal kilt runs up to $700US I want to take my time on those decisions. On the Sport kilt, it would help if I had one that fit better. Partly my fault on the measurements and partly because the Sport kilt doesn't allow for my build that way a nicer kilt would.

Jim,

First off--It took me a while to realize there was a gentleman in a kilt in that picture

Secondly--My eye caught that LOVELY Edzell tartan--THEN I realized there was a kilted gentleman!

I think our rabble gave you great advice and I by no means qualified to comment on the outfit of our formal occasions. I just want to say, listen to the guys here who know how to turn things up a notch and not look garish...
AND

Well done Shipmate! From one sailor to another--thank you for going kilted to OUR ball!
