Argyll jacket from Scottishkilts

[Graham]

As I mentioned before, the jacket is really comfortable, very smart, a perfect fit, I love the colour too.
Hamish always said charcoal grey was teh way to go, and who am I to argue?

My concerns about it being too hot for a summer wedding were unfounded since the cloth is quite light.

For me it's about as formal as I wish to be, I've not bought a tie yet, still undecided about colour, maybe a different tartan tie (only joking!!)

The kilt hose are gaelic themes also, I shall watch them because in the past they have tended to shrink heaps when washed.

For the wedding coming up I think I would like a more formal sporran, something with silver and fur, not sure what one yet.

Who this Handsom Di'vil then...And what have you done with Graham and his vest ?

You look real smart Gray matey. It looks like mine just with a waistcoat. You were born for the kilt

All you need now is a tartan tie . Ok! Hamish It's a fair cop I know ...Stand in the corner

[Graham]

Thanks David, I fancy it's not as heavy and maybe not as solid as your jacket, but more that fine for my purposes and climate.

Also, I'm feeling bad about not getting that video to you, I plan to make it tonight and include something a wee bit extra.

[Freelander Sporrano]

Sounds just great mate I can't wait

[Archangel]

It does look very good.

[Sindarius]

Aye it looks sharp on you Graham. I'd like to get an Argyll someday. Trouble is I'll have to fight off the urge to buy another kilt in the meantime

[Hamish]

That really is a First-Class purchase, Graham, and it suits you so well. I like the charcoal hose with the charcoal jacket and waistcoat but, with the greatest respect to them I am not so sure about Raphael's suggestion, and Colin's endorsement, of a "silver tie" (I imagine they are, like me, picturing a silver-grey fabric rather than a shiny silver one!). I agree that a touch of silver on the sporran would be good, but I'd opt for a green silk tie to match the green in your kilt - a silver-grey tie right next to your silver-grey beard would be too much of a good thing being in such close proximity.

You'll have to be careful not to get too dressy/formal with any accessory since you do not have silver/shiny buttons on the new jacket and waistcoat. I am thinking here mainly of the sporran. Personally, I'd forget about the fur and look for one in smart black leather with a silver cantle - silver AND fur together can be very dressy and, I feel, would be too much this time.

It might be a nice touch if the flowers in your Wedding buttonhole matched the colours in your kilt, making a nice change from the 'regulation' Carnation!!

Sorry, Graham. You did not ask for my advice and I have jumped right in. I am sure you will do what YOU feel is comfortable and right for the occasion.

Hamish, I know that Graham has expressed his desire for your input, and I would like to add that the idea of a tie matching a color in the tartan, while possible obvious to some, to me is a brilliant stroke! It would tie in the whole ensemble.

On a side note, I am not a fan of any of the "formal" sporrans. Just not an animal fur fan. The most I can see myself doing is a nice black leather sporran with a pewter cantel.

Hamish, the green silk tie will be hard to get here, as is the sporran.
Any leads on where to get them online would be appreciated.

Beauty we have in Tasmania, in abundance, but the fashion stuff, nay!

Sport Kilt actually has a pretty well-priced silver-and-leather sporran. It's pretty thin so you can't fit much in it, but since you have a jacket, the pockets there make up the difference.
