    Clothing Not Costume Challenge

    Ok, Rabble: It's time to post photos of yourselves wearing the kilt under informal, everyday circumstances: informal social gatherings, work, at home, out and about. Here are the rules:

    #1: Event photos must be non-ceremonial; i.e. no weddings, no Burns suppers, no "Kirkin' O' the Tartan", no Highland Games, no Guard Mounting or Mess Dress;

    #2: Photos must show you and/or others wearing the kilt as clothing, the kilt must not be performing the function of a costume.

    Here's me about to go to a non-kilt wearing friend's 50th Birthday party...SWK Black Watch, SWK Nightstalker nylon sporran, Black football hose, black bicycle shoes...



    Here's me explaining why pants are awful and the true meaning of freedom for the kilt wearer...



    Here's me and the runner up in the Most Unusually Dressed Category...I'm explaining to him that he wins, as I don't even belong in that category because unlike him, I'm not wearing a costume and have attired myself in an understated and appropriate fashion...and I looked better doing the Samba, not to mention the Mambo...



    Come one, come all, post your "Kilt as Clothing" pics. Cheers!

    One day a couple of years ago at work we had a very large snow storm, I was outside helping to shovel snow when I stopped for this photo.



    I was at the CN Tower and had this picture taken on the Glass Floor.


    This one was taken at Casa Loma.


    This one was just me walking my old dog, I do miss her.

    This is going to be an interesting thread, good idea.

    The following shows me sitting by the waterfront at Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver. It was another of those great father/daughter days out. "Pink Death" had told me which kilt to wear and what accessories to accompany. She takes after her mother!?!

    Walking the dog




    At the Monterey Bay Aquarium with my kids




    At the seaside in Santa Cruz




    At the San Francisco Zoo




    Hiking in Big Basin State Park

    At the Seaside in San Francisco

    Kilts are clothing to me, very rarely do I incorporate them into a costume

    Have you noticed that the leash is color coordinated?!?! I can't even match a pair of socks!

    Seriously, a tremendous look. One of many on this thread! All the gentlemen look great!
