dressing for a wedding

[GlassMan]

Personally I love hats, and I've found that I rather like wearing my Glengarry. Yes it does have more of a military look to it, but that doesn't bother me a bit.

These are but two examples. Sometimes the glengarry is worn over at a very rakish angle! :mrgreen:

When I was in the millitary that was how we were to wear the oversea's cap. One finger over the right eye.

A good pre-wedding gift might be Thompson's "So You're Going to Wear the Kilt."

It covers pretty much everything I can think of.

Yes, but it is SO dated!!!! Also, it was written not for Scots but for North Americans who have their own ideas about how Highland Dress should be worn!

Our very own Matt Newsome has published a far superior booklet for this day and age:



It is in paperback at $8.95 and is available from Matt at www.albanach.org/advicebook.htm

I am not the first to say this but, "Before you invest in a kilt, invest in this book!"

I'd be happy to, but for one thing... It seems that albanach.org's payment system is entirely based around Paypal - and I refuse to do business with them ever again after the roundabout lies and misdirection they pulled on me while I was trying to make a payment (in four figures, no less) to someone in the UK.

Sorry to hear that, Caradoc. I have been dealing through Paypal for years and, touching wood (no, not you Colin!), I've never yet had any problems with them. I guess that's all it takes: just one bad experience!

Well, it doesn't help when the experience includes being shorted a four-digit figure (not including decimal places) for a little over a week.

Closer to three kilts, or one and a half full PC kits.
