Richard, thanks very much. The hose are indeed the "Lewis range" from HOC. I`ve got long legs, so I wanted something with a good turnover, they seem to be about right, and very comfortable. It`s always a struggle finding shoes for my size 16N feet, and the Romeos were a happy coincidence. My girlfriend picked them up for me because they were size 16 and on sale, a first I think. Turns out they go well with the kilt. The belt and sporran were hand made by myself. I wore the same outfit to the PNW highland games last Sunday, and everything went well. I think I was still looking pretty good in a slightly inebriated sort of way by the end of the day. [see avatar] BTW, SFU and Dowco Triumph Street, along with all the bands, were awesome.
I don`t think I`m wearing my belt so tight that it`s holding the kilt up, but I am going to experiment with not using the loops. Thanks again for the input.

Mookien, I`m afraid the "shirts with the bubbles" comment has gone right over my head.
