    Pretty smart there , well done. You could shorten your hose by an inch or even two inches to advantage if you wanted to let more air circulate and as a bonus your attire would look just a wee tad better.

    Thanks for the advice! I will play around with the height next time. You mean increase the space between my knee and cuff correct?

    Quite so. I hesitate to also suggest, due to that dreaded camera angle effect thingy, but perhaps you could also consider raising your kilt a tad higher too.

    You are quite correct, button down collared shirts are not a usual British choice. In passing, as our weather is not as hot here, but the risk of sun burn is considerable as we have little air pollution then we go for the option of rolling up our sleeves in the heat(?!) or rolling them down if we are starting to burn.Or, the midgies are about, or, our more normal temperatures are about and we need to keep warm!

    It looks good and comfortable to me! The heat wave here in SoCal has been unbearable, so props for still looking dapper. I wore a Sport Kilt with a t-shirt and sandals today.

    Just a thought. Would a sport kilt, T shirt and sandals be regarded as traditional kilt attire? I think not. In case you hadn't noticed, this is the "Traditional Kilt Wear" section.

    My summer outfit was not what most would consider "traditional". Fortunately, this thread isn't about my experience, or it most certainly would be misplaced!

    Nice outfit and well done for wearing it that heat, I haven't worn my kilt for about a month as its been 25-35 degrees in the sun and I'm struggling in shorts and a tee shirt.

    To buck the trend, I don't mind button down shirts and have a few, that may be down to having no neck and button down collars tending to be a bit shorter than normal.

    The one collar I dislike is where the distance between either side is very wide, as if someone has chopped half of the collar away. Damn, have to correct myself before finishing, the ones I dislike the most are the coloured/striped ones that have contrasting white collars and cuffs, often loved by London city types, yuk 😝

    Actually SunriseEarth your last sentence above, makes it very clear that you are indeed discussing your "experience"!

    Keep smiling.
