after some incredible good fortune with shops and ebay i've managed to aquire everything i need for this outfit and not even dented the budget i set myself so i've decided to be a bit cheeky, theres enough time before the wedding to save and get a real hand made wool kilt for the occasion and after, i've gone and ordered swatches of 6 tartans i really like and would wear that would also meet their requirements and i'm going to let them choose which they'd prefer to see me in on the day if they don't like any of them then i'll respect their wishes wear the black and buy myself a nice kilt in my choice but well it doesn't hurt to give them some options and ask
