I have one heck of a scar going from the top of the knee going upwards along the front of the thigh and wearing the kilt was a tad uncomfortable for quite a while. It now makes a good conversation piece!
    Oh my goodness, I was not prepared for those details! I'm glad to hear it's in the past, but my knee feels tender just reading about it. And here I was thinking you twisted an ankle.

    Well alright, he is the best of a bad lot. Except for the sporran with its offset sporran flap fastening, kilt worn too low and the dreadful Windsor knot for his tie that really wont do.

    Noticed that about the sporran, but can't really tell if it's an offset flap or not (the one on the far left certainly is). I do think it's worn too high.

    Yes, all the kilts are too low.

    What's your preferred tie knot?

    Four. It was designed for a carriage driver to hold the reins of four horses in one hand, thus, 'four in hand'

    Thanks. I'll have to learn how to tie that one... for the once in every ten years I wrap a tie around my skinniest of hillbilly necks.
