Welcome to the forum KOG. The advice you get here is all meant to enhance your kilt-wearing experience. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of kilting and family herittage and order all things tartan. There's a place for all of what you have , but not all together. If you want to wear a balmoral with the kilt, I'd suggest black with a red toorie, or green. Here's a great-priced source:

The Prince Charlie is made to be worn open. Notice in you pic how it pulls when closed.

Spend some time on the Kilting Do's and Don'ts thread under Kilt advice. Believe me, I did when I joined this forum. Also, a great book for the traditional kilt wearer is "So You're Going to Wear The Kilt?" by Charles Thompson.

Have fun with it!

kog,

Looking at your pictures it seems apparent to me how much happier you are in the first outfit.

by the by, Beautiful tartan!

I absolutely agree with Pour1Malt:

as fur the bonnet, tie, an plaid... ai'd say wear ainly yin a' a time... twa arr three is TAE much...

Also, I think the bonnet is too casual for your formal outfit. Get a Balmoral or Glengarry.

All in all pretty great first pictures (far better than mine were)

Cheers

Well, my mom wanted me to put on all that stuff so she could send a picture to my aunts. It was about 85* F out that day, so yeah, i wasnt really comfortible in all that wool. The kilt and the jacobite shirt werent bad. but still quite warm. My new sportkilt is much more comfortible. Im waiting on a USA kilt as well, but thats a few weeks out. I cant wait!
