It looks good to me. Thank you for wearing a tattersall shirt with a button-down collar. It's how I like to wear them.

Very Well turned out indeed. If I looked half that good, half the time, I would spend more time near people.

Very , very nice. I particularly like the sporran. You did a great job with it. The only suggestion that I would make is not work too hard to have your tie match the tartan of your kilt. Not sure that's what you've done, but it looks like it.

Thanks David, the sporran bag was actually given to me by a friend, it's one of the original buff bags that were attached to the MOD cantles and covered with blanco. It took me some time to get the blanco off then made 2 tassels made for the sides. As for the tie, I got it from an OP shop with the intent of wearing it with the Isle of Skye, but until I got it home didn't realise how close the colours were. Thought I would give it a go anyhow

Quite a smart looking kit. I especially like the sporran. Only suggestion that I have would be a pair of brown ghillies. With this I think you would look every bit the highland laird.

I have yet to see a photo of a highland laird, clan chief, etc. wearing brown ghillie brogues. In fact, those who wear ghillie brogues at all seem to be rare. Can you help me out?

Cordially,

David

Actually ghillie brogues are not often worn up here for day to day wear by the locals, including lairds, and in 70 plus years I cannot recall seeing a brown pair.
