Kilt at the Office

[Jock Scot]

I must confess, I do find myself daydreaming about a tweed kilt suit from time to time. Modern of me? Or historical?

Sometimes they’re one and the same.

By the by, is that Robertson Hunting in your lower photos?

Follow your dream, if you wish! Should you wish to go down that route then perhaps you might seriously consider the style of jacket you might have? Might I suggest the rather more flowing and graceful lines of the traditionally cut kilt jacket------- without perhaps epaulets and Argyll cuffs---------rather than the rather severe modern cut kilt jacket style that looks more like a straight jacket!

Both of my kilts are MacLeod of Harris tartan. The top picture is a custom weave to a 10 inch sett and the colour tones were chosen to suit my eye. The bottom two are a standard Loch Carron 7 inch(I think) sett in " ancient" hues. I have worn no other Clan tartan in my life and I doubt that I ever will.

As an afterthought, I did at one time many moons ago, wear a MacLeod of Lewis tartan kilt for evening events where dress attire was needed. MacLeod of Lewis tartan is the dress tartan for the MacLeod of Harris branch of the Clan. These days few in the senior branch of the Clan bother with all that and just wear MacLeod of Harris for all events.
