The usual attire is cargo pants and a sweat shirt. I like cargo pants. You can carry around a lot of stuff.

Cargo pants go well with braces too. I know for a fact.

Ok then, you might want the whole belt and suspenders thing if you're going to load up your pockets like a demented kleptomaniac, and that's ok with me too. Me I carry a medium satchel everywhere I go. I like to spread the load.

Ah yes, I completely understand that sort of thinking...If you're thinking what I'm thinking that is...You might not be of course, but this here was me on my wedding day...Take note. I had a stockwhip handy!

Speaking of braces. Some things aren't quite as simple as Ed...would have you believe... Here's my parts list for a set of all leather braces. I'll follow up on this with a photo of the completed set tomorrow. Things are sitting out to soak in a bit of colour and leather dressing at the moment.


This is for you Ed...The parts list and the initial trial fitting to make sure it all works.

The Kilt is the best garment ever invented and I wish belted great kilts would be part of mainstream fashion too along with vests,pocket watches, ehhh .......pipe dream(low grumble). Why live........ oh that's right tea and sausages that's why !

On the note of that painting (which is awesome). I always aspired to some day have a mo every bit as good as the wee Scotty fourth from the officer on the left front. That dude means business too !

PS there is a similar way to do a Lava Lava for work or swimming.

Actually historically the scots sometimes were known to do this as well with their long shirts before a tuft.So I had been informed long ago anyway.

One of my grandmothers emigrated from Scotland...I can still hear her accent...she immigrated as a teen to MA, still kept her brogue.

Same with mine and my Stepdad.......in fact when I was a teenager I used to get a chuckle bringing my friends over to home and watching the looks on thier faces when he spoke.His Glasgow accent was just thick enough that they couldn't always understand him but, I could. Miss ya Pop RIP ! I also got to meet my Uncle Jimmy who only had been to the States twice in his life. He was like a very sweet old version of Pat O Brian the actor.
