Outfit for a memorial

This was the outfit for today, we had a memorial to go to for an elder in the church I work at, Bea was a wonderful woman who did much for the community in Toronto starting the Out of the Cold program to get people a place to sleep and the churches on the hill food bank which helps feed those same people. Her smile and laughter are missed already she was truly one of a kind.

I decided on the black barathea argyll as the tweed was simply too hot, this was only the second time I've ever worn the black argyll this was also the first time I've ever worn a semi-dress sporran, this one belonged to Vanessa's Grandfather and is from Nicholl Brothers.

A bit of polish.

A little while ago I got a horsehair sporran from a friend I wrote a blog about it at the beginning of May. Yesterday I decided to polish the silver cantle to see if I could get rid of the tarnish. Below is a photo, I think it came out rather well, however more work on it is needed.

D-Day Anniversary outfit

This was taken before the rain on Tuesday June 6th. I had planned to wear this outfit to our Tartan Tuesday kilt night, I thought it was appropriate to wear the Royal Naval Association kilt, as it was the 73rd Anniversary of the D-Day landings. I paired it with my Lovat Blue Argyll jacket, Brooks Brothers shirt and Brooks Brothers cashmere tie with my Ministry of Defense cantled sporran, and my Saltire top kilt hose.
