    Another vote for tartan, from another who thinks that the traditional kilt is more appropriate for highland games and Scottish festivals.

    Another vote for tartan!

    Though wear one of the contemporary kilts for the long drive up & back.

    If you have a clan t-shirt, I recommend wearing that, too.

    That was my attire at the Prescott Highland Games I attended this last weekend - Clan Donnachaidh t-shirt with my Robertson Hunting kilt (sorry, no pics) - looked good & with temps in the upper 80s was quite comfortable.

    .

    Rob,

    Tartan at the games -OR- the box pleat tweed you got from Matt. Either one is very traditional and would work for the games.

    I have been to games and "celtic" festivals where the stuff worn is crap. Dress well and you'll wow them all.

    Just my two cents worth.

    OK guys, thanks for all the input, tartan it is! Now, which tartan (although Dee, I did like your vote for the box pleated Donegan!). I have the following, Irish National USAK Casual (great for knocking about, but PV and worn at the hips), Back Watch USAK semi-trad (also very nice, no clan affilitation, but not wool), Scottish National HW (probably my closest to a traditional kilt, and no clan affiliation required!), the SWK HW weathered Lamont (another "very close" to traditional kilt, but much lighter in colors (might get dirty at the games), and I have no info on the clan Lamont, I just liked the colors), or the SWK standard Nightstalker (a cool looking kilt, but far from traditional).

    Now I know that I can wear whatever I like, so the clan comments above are not really an issue for me, but if somebody recognized the Lamont, I would want to at least know something about it. I still have a few days, so I can do some research, and it is the most unusual of my tartan kilts, so what say all of you?

    Oh, and what about shirt and accessories? I am planning on casual, t-shirt or polo pullover, but chime in in black sporran vs. brown, hose, shoes, etc..

    (Dang, this is fun. Are you guys enjoying the "Dress Rob in Highland attire " game?)
