Four outfits, all excellently presented with everything worn correctly. Very smart. 2nd. Silas Jones Very smart outfit. Everything worn correctly with a special mention of his kilt which is hanging beautifully. Brogue laces a bit untidy, not uniform on both legs. 3rd. Andrea Jones Very smart outfit. Everything worn correctly. The one item that sticks out is the bow tie which is not sitting well. 4th. Alexander Smith Very smart outfit. The one thing that stands out unfortunately is the badly creased tails on the glengarry. They need a good iron! Some helpful hints for some of the others: Adam had rolled-up shirt sleeves and his sporran wasn't lined up symmetrically with the white stripes on his kilt. Thomas looked as though he was very smartly turned out but unfortunately we couldn't see any of his uniform from the knees down. We need to see your entire outfit to qualify. |
