lol well with it being a new story i wasnt sure where to put it

The Manhattan Financial District Tartan was designed to have Mylar threads woven into it to give it a little glitter.

Well, that was then.

Anyway, I think it's a clever idea, but I really like that riding coat - sort of like what Neo would have worn if the Matrix was set in the highlands.

I guess I'll just add a "me, three".

Interesting idea, though. It still looks good and no fiddling around with too much bright lime or orange.

with the tartan being for the borders if nero was a highlander he`d have avoided wearing that i reckon ,i dont know if his fancy backward moving skills would work so well with a kilt with respect to his modesty and the kilt flying up

i always wondered who got Santa his gifts

i guess the use of mixing modern materials isn't really that new but if the drivers slow down for the horses then its a bonus ..any time i went horse riding with the misses some drivers would slow down while most wouldnt unaware that the horse may get spooked
