so now I do have a side question for you Jock , being of 'short and stout' stature I have had a problem when tying laces in what I know to be the 'traditional' way ... 3 twists , then brought around the rear to form an X and then tying off in the front or the side . The problem is my calf's are basically in the shape of an inverted cone
and after only 10 minutes or so of walking the laces slide down and come loose . Have you ever experienced this ? Any ideas on how to solve this problem ?
I take care of this issue by wearing a nice pair of oxfords, or similar dress shoe, I personally have an affinity for monk strap shoes.
In my humble opinion ghillie brogues, and those pirate like shirts with the poofy sleeves and laced up front are the domain of romance novel covers and "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" commercials....
Most kilt apparel can be pulled from any mans closet, dress shoes, shirts, ties, vests, all that's missing from most closets is a kilt-cut jacket, and wool hose.
