    Ah MacLowlife, ever the one with an interesting take on things, aren't you? Since you suggested that, I've been looking at some wholecuts but somehow they look a little TOO plain... are they formal enough for wearing with a black tie Highland attire?

    Several people have mentioned that they don't really like cap toes. Would any of those people care to suggest an alternative or are you tacitly agreeing with MacLowlife?

    If anything, I favour the whole cuts I've seen with a bit of detail on the toe:
