Bottle Green vs Black jackets - my opinion

[OC Richard]

I think green goes well with the government tartan.

Your outfit looks great!

Mine looked like somebody had dipped me, head to toe, in bottle green paint. (I had plain hose the exact shade of the jacket, and, to take things to an even more absurd extreme, I bought a bottle green Glengarry! Oh if Jock Scot could have only seen it all...)

There's no better hose with BW tartan than red/white diced, in my opinion, and it's why your kit looks so much better than mine did. Yours has just the right balance, mine was complete overkill.
