Absolutely fantastic vest!! Just a thought: You might try leaving the bottom button open to give your sporran a little more space.

The hose don't do anything for me personally.

I lucked out at 5.99$ CAN for the vest with an added 50% off and another 20% on top of that. I got the socks(they're not hoses) for .99$ CAN. I also got a Gunn tie and a nice black belt to use with my sporran.

I like the vest, not too sure about the socks but they could grow on me, if I add a hose top.

The brooch is my old scout badge. FSE (federation Scoutisme Europeen).

It would be nice to see some of your pics of Gonzo Kasual...

I have a habit of folding them three times, I think two should be enough.

Someday I'll get one, but I'll have to be extra nice with the rest of the family... especially with the 3rd one on the way....

(someday i'll be able to answer all the quotes in one post...)
