    Re: Critique, if you please...

    I think the overall look is quite good. If I may critique two things:

    1) pull your kilt up a bit. It looks like it is riding low on the hip (and a bit low on the knee).

    2) It may just be the pose/picture, but the sleeve length on the jacket might be a little short for you. You're showing a LOT of cuff.

    Other than that (and a polish on the shoes) you look great.
    One other thing (not a critique, but something that immediately sprang to mind)- I can't help but think how splendid Lovat blue hose would look with that kilt.

    ith:

    Ditto on all that.
    The colors in the kilt are brilliant - very good looking.
    One other thing that immediately stood out to me (and was mentioned by another gent here) the left (your left) front pleat seems to stick out/curl forward.
    Just curious about two things.
    1. How old is the kilt?
    2. What was your impression of (working with) Ms. Brose? I have my my own, and I'm afraid it's not too complimentary, so I shall hold my tongue.

    Re: Critique, if you please...

    Welcome to the Forum Raymac!
    I think others have covered the main points regarding your kilt and outfit.
    I find it amazing how helpful members are in helping one another to point out things we might not notice ourselves! And the comments are truly offered, I believe, in good intentions.

    One point I think I saw, but not covered yet, is the top of the kilt hose in relation to one's kneecaps. If you compare yours to the gentleman on your left, his hose are about 1 1'/ inches below the kneecap. Yours seem to be somewhat lower. I think you have enough turn down on your hose to bring the tops up. I have picked a point on my shin that I start the turn down of the hose and then I check to make sure that the tops are equal on the left and right leg before I stand up.

    Otherwise, kilt on and keep the pictures coming!

    Regards,

    Tom
