    A plea: (NOT aimed at you Trefor, as far as I know) PLEASE, never wear socks with sandals - ever! I once allowed myself to be photographed with that combination (not the undergarment!!!) on my feet and, yes, I was kilted at the time. It should never have happened. I was caught unawares and should have known better, but that photo haunted me for several years. It appeared on all manner of websites - one of which was devoted solely to the crime of wearing socks with sandals! So, don't do it. To do so is to commit one of the greatest menswear faux pas of all time. It is not a fashion thing - it quite simply just looks awful !

    Bless me Hamish I have sinned...

    Well only once which was at the Wales Motorcycle show about 3 weeks ago and I was wearing my Unionkilts leather kilt at the time. I didn't think anyone would make a big thing of it and nobody did and I haven't seen any photos taken to proclaim it to the net.

    Wouldn't normally do it!
