Reference Gallery

[Colin]

In my opinion, what we need is a reference gallery of different styles for kilts.
We need photos of how formal attire should look and fit, and be able to use that as a reference. Those of us that are looking for a jacket, kilt, or accesories only have vendor homepages to go by. I don't know about you, but I don't fit the mold of any of those "models" and that jacket is not going to look the same on me.

Richard Johnson has a great photo of himself in a formal jacket that he had tailored. He has been kind enough to answer some questions and lend some direction (thanks again Richard). This would be most helpful to people looking to go in this direction.

Examples needed:
Prince Charlie jacket
Argyle/ Crail/etc jackets
Tweed jackets
hose and flashes (there must be people that have no idea about these.)
etc.???

I think it would be most helpful to see real people in this attire rather than some pretty boy that likely changed into jeans right after the photo shoot.

Any thoughts?

I like that idea Colin, especially since the catalogs don't show detail very well and they frequently use stock photos. I've seen the same photos used in several different catalogs for completely different companies. Makes me kind of suspicious about what an offering is actually going to look like. I've been thinking about an argyle. I've seen at least 3 ways of doing the epaulets and 2 ways of doing the gauntlet cuffs. That along with several people talking about differences in sizing makes me pretty hesitant to try making an order. A reference gallery like Colin suggests could give us a place to share details and experiences with fit.

Real kilts for real people. I like that.

I like this idea, of course Hamish probably has a good number of these covered in his photo album,
