Don't know anything about NZ law, but I do know that most commercially available sgian dubhs are not double-sided (usually described as double-edged). Just one sharpened edge, and sometimes not even that. Suspect someone gave you bad info.

Best regards,

Jake

Thanks for that. I know have the kilts, sporran, belts and socks. Just need some sgian dubh (can rent them but feel like it is something you should own) and we are about done.

The Bridesmaids are all in black so Kathryn will stand out in white.

She has a piper playing as she arrives so our next job is to see what songs he knows.

This is what we are going with. Socks haven't arrived yet and the shirt is straight out of the packet. (yes I will iron it before March).

I'll be the first one to ask: Whatcha gonna do with the extra kilt?

I'm planning a similar outfit for Burns night. My GF nixed the Tux shirt/vest idea so I'm going with a black dress shirt, tie and pocket silk with my black XKilt and Goodwill jacket.

Think Johnny Cash in a kilt.

I didn't nix it - I just discouraged it. I vote for a colored tie, though, on both parts. That is, if you go for a shirt that calls for a tie. I think a pop of color would be nice.

I'm with MA about the sgian dubhs. Never heard of a double sided one??

I hate re-posting pics because I can't figure out how to refer to one already posted, but here is pre

tty much the same ensamble at our Houston Kilt Night.
Cheers

I gotta say, Chase... that ensemble is pretty boss. Between that pic and seeing my boyfriend in two different semi-formal/formal looks tonight, I've had quite the night full of handsome, kilted men!
