What to do when you don't have all the kilt kit?

I know I'm past the due date on this thread, but just a quick comment about your Freelander sporran: My Freelander is the only day sporran I own, so I always wear it with my tweed day jacket -- INMHO, it looks fine with tweed, and it always gets a lot of compliments.

But, as we all know, Freelander Sporrans are "simply the best"!

PS: Are you a member of the Clan Freelander social group?

I didn't know about the Clan Freelander group but I'll go check that out now! If my Freelander was all black, I think I might've been more tempted to go with it but since its black/brown -it seemed too casual for a wedding. But I do love it!

Who cares about the tie and flashes when you have the loveliest accessory any man could want hooked on your left arm. Everyone was looking at her, I am sure, and nobody probably even noticed the kilt and outfit. But you both look smashing.

Always better to be slightly overdressed than underdressed, unless it is for a mud wrestling match.

Thanks! And, of course you're right - though I got a lot of "are you Scottish?" questions along with "aren't you cold?" Kor wanted to go a little 'holloween' since the wedding was on 'holloween' but she was bundled up with leggings, arm warmers, sweater and jacket the whole time so no one got to enjoy the dress... except me

But over-dressed is waay better then underdressed. We were just the 'excentric' folks from California who clearly don't know anything about cold weather....

Thanks all for the comments!

Great job!

Like you, I have only one set of kilting clothes, albeit a very expensive Lovat green jacket etc to go with my kilt but, nevertheless, this side of coming into some money, folks have to take me as they find me!

Here's to the day I can afford a dress sporran, aye!

The outfit works well. Nice job.

1 You might want to invest in some thicker and darker hose?

2 You might want to buy your GF some shoes for Christmas - if she has a dance with you at the next party, you'll do her toes some damage! Mind you if it was that snowy already, perhaps she'll have succumbed to frostbite by then?

Cheers, Graham.

Totally agree about the hose - Thicker would've been great and a blue somewhere between that shade and a darker blue would've worked as well.

As for her shoes... I like her barefoot... ;) it's harder for her to run away - especially in the snow! Seriously, she was wearing thick socks and boots b/c of the cold... which she was super excited about removing once we made it into a heated space.
