Been taking a page from Ron's book and taking a picture every morning before heading to work. Here is today's look in Black Watch USAK semi-traditional.

I told Marilyn " Ohhh look the Xmark pin" I am realllllly Jonesing. She said you are starting to pose like Hammish. Is there a double meaning there? :rolleyes:

Your gonna have to develope your own signature pose. Perhaps some kind of action shot. Taking a case of your favorite adult beverage out of the car or holding off the vicious poodle from the house next door with a sword or something. Nice looking Black Watch.

looks good. Where'd you get your braided sporran strap? Did it come from one of the guys on here?

R-kilts has that strap. Very nice piece of work!

Ever thought of adding some facial hair to "mean you up"? You look like the nice guy you seem on the forum

The black watch looks good. The socks do look fairly thin (other thread) have you tried just pushing them down? I know Hamish rolls his down, but his boots all look a little higher up the leg. I have found that with shorter boots, the pushed down hose beefs it up a bit.

Considering that I could never wear Black Watch (or Royal Stewart), I think you are making that tartan wearable! Not only is it a fine-looking kilt, but the polo shirt (I LOVE polos with kilts) is perfectly co-ordinated, the hose too (but they still look thin!). If you were wearing the hose pulled up, I'd have criticised you for being too 'bottle green', but folded down they are not too much at all. Maybe you do need heavier-looking footwear to perfect the 'visual' - just a thought following on from Colin's comment.

PS: Please don't do the beard! It ages you, and we all need to hang on to as much 'youth' as we can muster. It disappears quickly enough of its own accord - I speak from experience! I have twice grown beards but never really liked myself with them, and the last time a friend asked, "why are you hiding behind all that hair?" It made me think, and I realised that she had a valid point!
