    Thumbs up Great "look"

    The thing that strikes me is how "natural" it looks. Just a guy in his kilt; not trying to make a statement--a very comfortable and sensible dressing option for any guy. I think, this is the sort of thing that most men could relate to.

    Thanks for sharing this. Let's have more of it!

    I like it. Very low key....save the red flashes which warn not to poke the tiger eh?

    Think I've seen some nice brown and gray tartans....so why not? I missed out on the solid gray mocker....lucky you.

    Good look, except I would lose the flashes. I tend to wear darker colors with my gray mocker as well, but never tried any brown.

    A good example of the use of colour, Panache. Normally, I dislike seeing woollen tops being worn 'tucked-in' at the waistband, but you manage to carry it off here. Just two things could be an improvement in my eyes: grey footwear to catch the kilt colour (in general, using the same colour for hose and footwear is not visually a good idea) - and losing those bright red flashes! They do nothing but distract, I'm afraid! If you must wear flashes with a Utilikilt (!) try matching the kilt colour.

    Altogether, forgetting the actual colours, you have matched the tonal quality of both of them - always effective!

    Thanks for all the kind words and helpful suggstions. Both are appreciated.

    To quote Hamish

    "...and losing those bright red flashes! They do nothing but distract, I'm afraid! If you must wear flashes with a Utilikilt (!) try matching the kilt colour."


    My lovely wife made me a set of gray flashes (as well as another set in green) this morning. I will pair the outfit henceforth with matching gray flashes.

    Cheers
