The Ghillie Shirt

[PatrickHughes123]

There's something about it, to me at least, that makes a Ghillie Shirt go great with Ghillie Brogues. The fact that they are both Ghillie-type clothing, and they both have laces.

Just imagine the sentence "Put on your Ghillie Shirt to go with your Ghillie Brogues!" said in a happy Irish accent, it sounds so satisfying.

Seriously though, I love the kilt as much as anyone else on this forum, and I want to preserve it as modern clothing with traditional and historical links, I don't want to turn it into a costume. So yes, I will get rid of the feather plume, I will never wear fly plaids again when I buy new kilt wear. But I will never give up the Ghillie Shirt, it's a shirt that I feel passionate about and want to promote as much as possible. To me it's not a horrible shirt, but something of beauty, a beauty that goes unfairly treated and put aside so the Prince Charlie Coatee or the Montrose Doublet can take its place in the spotlight. For me, it's more than clothing, it's a romantic link to the past. I love the shirt, so beautiful.
