Kilt as part of Steampunk costume

Have fun, wear what ever you have, and enjoy the event. It's "your gear", and your going to have fun utilizing what YOU bought...Frankly (and as a guy who own 14 wool kilts, AND plays in a pipe band) I think that there's a lot of over thinking about " garment respect" going on in "the kilt world"... I'm sure that we'll all be looking forward to, and enjoy seeing the photos (if you can post them) of the GREAT time that you had!!!

How can you wear an authentic clothing when in fact STEAMPUNK is nothing more than fantasy, mimicking the late 19th and early 20th Century. So does it really matter what you wear, as long as you are in the theme of the program. We are splitting hairs on something that never existed. Many of the accessories that are being sold are 20th century made to look 19th Victorian. Just have fun with you impression, go and enjoy, to me Steampunk is nothing more that Comic Con type event. HAVE FUN...

I have worn a kilt as part of a steam punk outfit many times in fact I bought a goth style kilt just for that purpose, with which I wore with a cream shirt, Victorian style maroon waistcoat, long tails style western jacket, antique shoulder hoster (with toy pistol of course) maroon silk scarve, top hat with goggles, antique pocket watch and chain, black boots and a replica of a CSA saber. Was my outfit correct or even historically accurate? Hell no but it was a fun day out on the town with my wife (who was also dressed steampunk) where tons of people asked for pictures with us and we won the costume contest. So wear what you like, have fun with it and remember there are very few rules when it comes to steampunk.
