Acceptable attire?

[Alan H]

He was probably afraid his girlfriend thought you were better looking that he is.

..........some people..

[pipesndrumsnun]

You look good to me!!

...and an American (might have been Canadian I cant tell the differance)...

Did you turn him over, that's the only way to find out the difference.

[pipesndrumsnun]

Fuhgeddaboutit!

Retro Red,

You must know my friend Sister Marie from Queens, NY...that's how she says it!

To be honest it looks good but ,

when ever I see someone with a hat thats not pipeing its always screams TOURIST, I was in a shop in edinburgh and an American (might have been Canadian I cant tell the differance) purchased a fantastic outfit PC, nice Kilt tasfully coloured socks etc looked fantastic , then proceeded to slap a Tam on his head. spoiled the effect (Archie the inventor??) but thats just my opinion I dont like hats unless Im pipeing.

They prob think your hat goes with a horsehair sporron, like no1 dress . If you wear a hat people will ask you about bagpipes. if you dont they will ask you about your underwear status, if you wear Trousers people will ignore you
cant win

but looks sharp

I would agree that one should never wear a bonnet with formal attire, but I do not agree that wearing a balmoral makes you look like a tourist. I've seen plenty of gents wearing balmorals with day/hunting attire (our own kevinkinney, for example) who look very natty.

Ya... This one sounds off kilter to me. But there's always someone waiting around to tell you you're wrong.

Might get myself a bonnet of one kind or another someday to augment my growing collection of flat caps.

Don't you know the kilt police are undercover.

Best reply ever!

I respect your input. I would love to be a piper, but I am deaf and it's near impossible for me to learn a new instrument.

I think that combo looks great, Brother. I certainly hope that "Gentleman" isn't in Reno in a few weeks, my intended outfit would probably send him into fits!

[SportBilly]

This is my normal daily attire (with different tartans of course):



I was wearing this today when someone walks up to me and informed me that the Balmoral is not to be worn with this type of sporran. Now, I know there is no kilt police, but I do wish to appear in what is acceptable.

Advice anyone?

Wow! I wouldn't be able to advise you other than to say that surely if you're comfortable then that's all that matters? Isn't it a little like someone saying you can't wear Levi's jeans unless your cowboy boots are quartertipped? And speaking as someone just looking at your picture, you look fantastic
