    May I ask, which one IS that?

    The "all white" outfit almost suggests a Papal visit to Scotland (except the Pope is clearly too savvy ever to venture out like that).

    But, I wonder just who could sit still long enough to create some of those garments.

    And the lady in a waistcoat sporting a sporran seems almost acceptable.

    Then there's the guy in "camouflage," whose iridescent sporran seems to CRY out "point your weapons here!"

    My wife and I spotted a huge poster showing that all-white outfit in a Kilt Hire shop in Glasgow. I didn't get a photo of it but later found the same thing online.

    The Bride likewise was all in white. My wife quipped "so who's the Bride?"

    It's cropped there, but the whole image shows that for some unknown reason they used black flashes and black ghillies, which is disappointing. (I have seen white ghillies BTW.)

    For sure the combination of a camouflage jacket with bright lime-green sporran is a stroke of genius.

    Oh, surely you remember the old Wonder Bread packaging! Have had primary-colored polka dots for as long as I can remember. Awful, awful bread, beloved by plumbers for wadding up and temporarily stopping up pipes to allow for sweating fittings, then dissolves when the water is turned on.

    My first thought was that it was photoshopped, but I would need to see a larger and higher resolution image to know for sure. If it's real, I'm wondering how the pleats were set.

    The multicam is great. But again the question, what do the pleats look like? The whole purpose of camouflage is to break up larger patterns into smaller patterns that are not as detectable to the eye (human or animal). Pleating to the stripe breaks the pattern, but there is no stripe... The jacket is not really meant for concealment, so I'm probably overthinking this... Still, would like to see some pics from the back.

    Actually the kilt is plain olive green, so no worries about the pleating.
