I'm a big fan of an Argyle sock, myself. Tartan is familiar, but I can't call the name to mind from memory... Jacket/ waistcoat are great - always nice to see something different than the more formal black being worn with a kilt. The regular shoes look great (truth be told, I'm not a huge fan of the high-lacing brogues; I think I'm gong to try and track down a buckling pair for my own Highland dress). The long Sporran is an interesting choice, too - I most commonly see those on pipers, especially military.

Edward,

The tartan is Nicholson muted hunting from Batley's which is a smaller weaving mill. My wife is a Nichol so this tartan honors her and her family. As for ghillie brogues, I have a pair but tend to leave them for black tie occasions (I personally think a regular shoe works just fine.) Buckle brogues would be fun but I would would wear them only with a Formal doublet (like my Sheriffmuir).

Though horsehair sporrans are mainly seen nowadays on pipers this wasn't always the case like you can see with Queen Victoria's companion/servant John Brown

For my prom last Friday. It was a masquarade theme (not my idea). I had a black homburg with me but didn't end up wearing it very much that night.

Today, for a job interview in London. It's the first time in over a year I didn't wear a hat and only because I didn't want to spoil my chances of getting a job. I also committed the faux pas of wearing black shoes whilst carrying a brown briefcase

.

-60s NOS suit (far too heavy for the weather but the only suit I have which I consider appropriate for a financial advice company)
-50s tie
-40s chrome cufflinks

Rue,

I'm guessing, but I'd say, either Caesar's Palace, or The Venetian?

Just an observation, but that seems an awfully small cocktail receptacle, were you feeling all right?

Danny O

p.s. I'm sorry, I nearly forgot :eusa_doh: black dress, a classic look, you look great! :eusa_clap

Good guess Danny O! I was at Caesar's, but we stayed at the Bellagio. It was a to go cup lol

Oh and thank you
