    Re: Critique, if you please...

    I would look into the front apron and the inverted pleat. It looks like the inverted pleat is really small and it does not allow the front apron to sit properly.

    IMHO,

    I sincerely think you look fabulous. Thats a really beautiful tartan. I didnt notice the jacket until someone else said something, but now that they did, perhaps I can see how it could look a tad too small. You truly do look great, though.

    RayMc: Everything the Rabble identified is spot-on, so I won't repeat... except once - Lovat hose would look awesome! You wear the 'uniform' well and that is a VERY HANDSOME tartan. Great thing about the more complex tartans - matching or contrasting color combinations are virtually endless.

    Hey Ray, I'd just straighten the tie, maybe pull the sleeves up inside the coat and put on a bigger smile. Other adjustments would be fun to experiment with but you got a look there.

    What was the event you attended when the photo was taken?

    As a Macpherson, and a staunch supporter of the Clan Chattan Confederation, I love the tartan you chose-very smart indeed!

    It was in early November in at the Westford Regency in Westford, MA. Each year I hold our Clan Mackintosh Heritage Brunch there.

    Here's my friend, and fellow Macpherson cousin, Bruce Macpherson of London, wearing his Chattan tartan (woven by D.C. Dalgliesh in standard colours) at a ball a couple of years ago. His sporran is a full-mask, Scottish Wildcat. Very smart indeed!



    Cheers,

    Cheers,
    Is that a weathered or hunting Chattan perhaps?, it seems more subdued than mine. I rather like it better.

    On another subject, I was told it was highly illegal to possess any part of a Scottish Wildcat, subject to a heavy fine & confiscation...?
    I could be mistaken, wouldn't be the first time...
    May only be true in Scotland.

    How did you do it? Congrats!
