I think you're right Panache - like I said, to me the kilt is not a costume. It's a garment. Maybe I am over thinking this.

Ooh. The annual Halloween Costume Thread.

One of these went on for 14-pages. My quick recap, some say yea and some say nay.

Personally, I don't wear my kilt as a costume, but I would (and have) incorporated my kilt into my costume, just as would my trousers. Do what you want.

Best regards,

Jake

Good Ash, or bad Ash?

Are you going to attach a chainsaw to your arm?

I have worn a kilt on Halloween while the kid's went trick or treating, but I was wearing it all day anyway (it's my wife's birthday). I wouldn't wear it as a costume. It just seems like too much like a cop out and too safe. I understand that many are nervous the first time or two their wear their kilt out in public, but there is nothing to fear. Don't wait for Halloween or Burns night so that you have a safe explanation for the kilt.

If you're going to wear a kilt...wear a kilt.

Being kilted on Halloween seems tae cheapen the kilt or should I sae it brings about the feeling of disrespect. Ancestors have fought and died for many things including the right tae wear the kilt. That being said maybe trews shuld be worn or sum auther form o unmanly dress that dae. The only real issue you'll face will be when your kilted on All Saints Dae and they'll be askin why you're still in your Halloween git up and walk away a wee bit puzzled that's all. Agin it's up tae you in the long run. You want tae wear your kilt, do so ! Who cares about the rest o the lot and what their wearing cuz in the end their just jealous and wish they had a kilt. I see by some of the pics in this post there are sum fellow Jacobites about. It's always gud tae be among Family.

Yours Aye,
Sean

1MUNK3, May I ask why are you speaking in this ridiculous dialect. I suspect you are american ?

Why are you talking in outdated scots?. Being from scotland myself I would like to educate you that no one in scotland talks like this.

And what puzzles me even more is why an american is speaking like this. ????????????????????

Evil Dead II. Although The Evil Dead is my favorite movie of all time, I'm doing the chainsaw-hand thing because it's more recognizable than a guy with a bloody, torn-up shirt.

Hail to the King Baby.

One of my friends went as Ash from Army of Darkness in college. You'd be surprised how many people thought he was from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Just sad.

Strange... I just assumed that is how they speak in Massachusetts, U.S.A.

I usually don't do anything for Halloween anymore, so I guess I won't wear a kilt. I have, however, worn a gause pirate shirt with my kilt to the Ren Fest, so I guess it's which accessories you wear with the kilt that make it costoom-ish.
