The only suggestion that I would make is to move your kilt pin much closer to the bottom edge of the kilt apron. In theory, the kilt pin is there to keep the apron from blowing open.
I think the reason this kilt pin ended up higher than I thought is because the part that pins to the apron is a few inches below the actual crest. I pinned it where I thought it should be, but didn't snap to the fact that the visible part would be a couple of inches above it. I usually wear a sword-theme clan crest kilt pin toward the bottom of the apron, but figured I would wear this one for dressing up, and move it up higher than normal because I don't want to damage the little feathers on it. I'll move it down a bit, though.

Oh yeah- and SMILE!!
LOL, people say that a lot when they see pictures of me. I may not be smiling, but I'm not frowning... although it may look that way. That's just my normal expression. I have a hard time putting on a fake smile for pictures. It comes off looking fake and stupid.

Without derailing the thread, but I am not at all sure you are right in saying"-----there was a time that horsehair sporrans and tartan hose were what was worn around the clock---". They were certainly worn for the occasion by the subjects posing and painted by commercially minded romantic artists who could sell their works to starry eyed and willing customers. But please do not make the mistake of thinking that these outfits were every day wear for Highlanders.
Jock, I understand your position on this, and you are most certainly correct that hair sporrans were not worn all the time by all kilted gentlemen. But by the same token, I haven't seen any evidence to suggest that they were only worn for portraits. The fact that hair sporrans and tartan hose show up across the board, even when depicting men in casual/working situations, seems to suggest that they were somewhat commonplace.

I would also consider the fact that men of that era didn't have closets full of different outfits or racks of different sporrans from which to choose. It seems more likely that if we see them in portraits wearing hair sporrans, it's because that's the only sporran they had. And they wore it for whatever activity they were doing. The same likely applies with hose. They may have had one or two pair of hose, and they wore what they had. Back then, tartan hose likely didn't cost 4 times what plain hose did, like they do today.

At any rate, your points are well taken and I appreciate your advice as always.

I really like the outfit in the photos shown in the original post.

It could have been plucked right out of the third quarter of the 19th century, save for the style of shirt and necktie.

At that time long hair sporrans were worn in all sorts of Highland Dress (the modern "evening" and "day" sporrans having not yet evolved) and it was quite common to wear tartan hose with tweed day jackets (though selfcoloured grey hose were common also).
I agree, the modern "evening" and "day" sporrans hadn't evolved yet. If men didn't wear hair sporrans, what did they wear? I don't see much evidence of anything being worn but hair sporrans.

Did men back then fuss over what was "proper" for day wear, smart day wear, black tie, white tie, etc.? Did those conventions even exist amongst Highlanders of the day? I doubt it.
