My kilt—and hose for that matter—are in the Dress Green
Drummond of Perth tartan. I really love this tartan. Its unusual pattern
reminds me of peacock eyes; the peacock, of course, being my favorite animal.
On top of that, this tartan doesn’t seem to be as popular as many others. I am
hoping that it will help me stand out amongst the other competitors.
Now I do have to admit that, while I love my tartan, I am a
little worried that it may be too busy. Then again, there are some beautiful
pictures of dancers in the Dress Green Drummond; so, I guess I worry for
nothing—which is not all that uncommon for me.

I have also ordered a pair of split diamond tartan hose.
Truth be told, I like the whole diamond pattern best for most tartans. However,
the whole diamond pattern isn't quite so fabulous in the Green Drummond. In
lieu of this, I decided to add a little flair and go for the split diamond,
which definitely seems to be the trend amongst others who wear this tartan.

I am hoping that by the time the Gaelic Fusion show rolls
around in January, I’ll have a the bottom portion of my outfit complete,
including a kilt, kilt hose, a sporran, and maybe some flashes. I’ll also have
a jumpstart on the top of my outfit, as I already have a Balmoral hat and am
planning to locate a nice bowtie and dress shirt.

I think I am having too much fun with this whole outfitting process.
Then again, that’s probably just the gay in me.
