Ian: Old Scotland Tweed
Whiskey Try: Jameson Cask Mates Stout Edition
===========
00:08:58 - You've talked recently about the appropriateness of brown ghillie brogues for day wear but not for formal events recently, but is there a good way to dress down black brogues for non-black tie events?
00:11:28 - What was your first ever kilt?
00:15:23- What beer(domestic or imported) brand would you like to collaborate with to create a kilt?
00:23:47 - Which weight of wool cloth is best for a great kilt and why? 11oz? 13oz? 16oz? Tweed?
00:30:30 - I generally wear a boot similar to Ian’s in the photo, or combat boot style when wearing my kilts. If not wearing hose, is it better to push the socks down to the top of the boot, or pull up to where they naturally sit?
00:35:25 - I am considering adding a pin top my flat cap. I'm thinking of a clan pin, but it could also be a fandom pin. Is that okay? If so, how do I deal with the pin back poking me in the head inside the hat?
00:41:53 - How do folks store their flashes? I have my garter ties in a slacks hanger where I can easily scan for what colors will go with what I am putting together. What about flashes? Right now I have them clipped in a kilt hanger but that's not efficient as only four sets per hanger.
00:47:41 - Has the actual design / sewing of your kilts changed from the first kilt you ever made until now?
00:57:34 - Blue Collar Tartan Intro
01:03:45 - What's your “One tartan to rule them all" in terms of versatility to dress up or down? A Tartan you can wear from casual day wear up to wedding guest and beyond.
01:12:03 - I am attending a wedding where the men will be wearing kilts or suits. I am planning to wear an Argyll jacket and clan tartan tie. Would a matching fly plaid be too much?
01:18:07 - We want to wrap up our baby who is due soon in tartan for baby pictures. Should we use a tartan blanket? Can we use scraps from a kilt or would that be too rough on the baby's skin?
01:22:18 - Is it possible to get a custom tweed kilt jacket made in the Kilkenny style?
01:26:24 - How do you respond to someone who thinks only "clan tartans" - and maybe a few universals like Black Watch - are "real" tartans? How would you respond to someone pointing to your kilt, asking about the tartan, and you say, for example, "It's the Blue Collar tartan that symbolizes etc etc" and them saying "Okay, that's cool, but that's not a 'real' tartan!"
01:38:16 - Do you have any day sporran recommendations for a lassie looking for their first?
01:47:23 - Which is more of a faux pas: A full Prince Charlie jacket and vest with a day sporran, or a business/smart casual kilt outfit with a dress sporran?
01:54:36 - Is there a guide or rule of thumb for colors regarding kilt hose and the tartan of the kilt? What colors match? Which ones don't?
