Got my first pair of ghillie brogues

[JRYoung]

My first pair of ghillie brogues arrived in the mail this morning. They're actually the third pair of brogues that I've ordered, but the only ones I've received. The first pair I bought from MacGregor and MacDuff and a week and a half later I received the package without the brogues. I filled out the USPS lost mail recovery form, but not surprisingly I never heard anything back. The second pair I bought from Celtic Trading Post and after about a week he sent me an email saying he must have accidentally sold the brogues in my size, so he refunded my money and said he was going to send a different pair of brogues to make up for it, but I never received them and after some research on the forum I understand he's not a very organized fellow and I just let it go. I guess third time is a charm after all, because I've finally got a pair of brogues and they fit quite well and are in pretty good nick. I need to adjust the length of the laces and figure out exactly how I like them laced, but I already like them more than regular brogues and can't wait to wear them once the weather warms up.

I've bought a few other odds and ends lately, mostly I've been working on getting together a nice black tie setup should the occasion ever arise for me to wear it. I got a really nice old PC on ebay, it's old and has some wear, but fits me rather well.
I've just about got everything I need, except the proper wing collar shirt. I've ordered it, though it hasn't arrived just yet. The kilt in the photo is just a SWK thrifty, which I know it's not a proper dress kilt, it's just what I had close by for the photo. Though pretty soon I'm planning on ordering a 5 yard wool kilt in Mackenzie Modern from Rocky, so then I will have a proper dress kilt and my first custom made kilt. I forgot to wear my sgian dubh for the picture and if there is anything else I forgot or if there's something you think I should add, please feel free to say so.
