    Since nobody has mentioned it yet, I'll go ahead and say that the sleeve lengths on the jackets are a tad long. They should come to the wrist, and there should be about 1/2" of shirt sleeve visible, I believe.

    But this is a relatively minor detail. And it could be a considerably high cost to have a tailor adjust them.

    On the hose, I personally think that the blue solid-color hose would go well with either tartan, but the red Argyle hose would be better only with the red tartan.

    I am new to this myself. I will say, those pics look awesome!!! What blessing to have those kilts/outfits fall into your lap.


    My only suggestion. People on here have advised me, and upon taking the advice I think it does look pretty nice. I noticed in the first picture your flashes tend to be on the side or towards the back. Someone told me on here a few months ago that their pet-peeve was when the flashes weren't a little towards the front. After wearing mine thusly, I would tend to agree. Whether that is a rule or not--I don't even know. Perhaps someone more intelligible than I can chime in here?

    Tobus, I agree the sleeve lengths on the jackets are a tad long. The Gent was a wee bit taller than me, I should look into having this taken care of. Thanks again everyone this is the information I was looking for. It can be a big step to wear a kilt in the first place, let alone not be presentable.
