My wife is an accomplished artist, with degrees in Fibers, Metals and ceramics. She can weave (yes, if I can ever afford to buy a loom, she will do tartans.) also is a goldsmith and silversmith. I need to finish her studio in the basement.

She won't try a kilt, but I may one of these days. I have an instruction book. (forget the name but the author is one of the outstanding kiltmakers in the business.) It ain't an easy task.

So far as accessories, We had a small sample of my Ross Weathered Hunting and she made it into flashes. I wear a tan open collar shirt with my military ribbons, kilt, belt and daywear sporan, black hose with the Ross Flashes and gillies. I prefer a glengary bonnet.

This is my personal mode of dress, except when going out then I wear a white shirt and tie and a black Piper's jacket. I have worn a formal tux shirt black or red bow tie and a black sport coat. I want to order a proper evening wear Prince Charlie but the cost is a bit dear.

When piping with the band, of course I dress accordingly Summer Military or Daywear and wear the Modern Wilson which is the band kilt.
