To kilt in modern north american society

[Alan H]

Thanks. I tried to replicate the success of last week with the navy blue kilt suit, but it wasn't as well received... so separate kilts and jackets will be the order of the day. It's the Glasgow Rangers tartan next on the itinerary The Mrs is slowly getting used to me being kilted more often...

I SUSPECT....of course, I don't know..only you know, but I SUSPECT that varying the outfit is irrelevant. It's not whether you've matched up the brown hose with the tan waistcoat above the Clark tartan, or whether you have black hose with your black sporran on with the MacFidgetty tartan.

It's just another kilt. Another damn kilt. And you're a black man and black men don't wear kilts , and it's just plain wierd, and you're just trying to draw attention to yourself, and you make her look bad yadda, yadda, yadda.

Now, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe when you get all the stuff styled just *So*, you get the seal of approval, but when you don't nick that outmost edge of Perfect Style, you get stares, comments and sneers. I guess it's possible.

But I would venture to guess that any kilt will meet with disapproval, simply because it's a kilt and >>insert her reason here << that's bad. If that's the case, then trying to put together the Ultimate Ensemble is kind of pointless and just avoids the core issue.
