kilted Halloween Costume

[Dirk Skene]

This Saturday evening we are going to a party & I am going in full regalia. Yes I know it is clothing and not a costume. But as KiltedCodeWarrior aluded to, if it promotes the kilt it is a positive thing. Besides I did not buy this stuff to reserve for ren-fairs.

This is exactly why I sported my garb last night (York County, Maine law has trick or treating happen the night BEFORE Halloween... no idea why) while I walked the wee-uns around the 'hood. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos last night, but the kilt and the boots I wore last night can be seen below. The sporran in the photo was my own creation (which I ended up selling for $50 [the rough equivelant of £26 or €39 for our European friends]).

Anyway, here's the photo:

Several years ago , we had a costume contest at work. There were three prizes. Lucky, because only three of us showed up in costume. My department had two entrants. I threw on a tyvek suit, put on my respirator, goggles and a hardhat and became......The Toxic Avenger! I was introduced as "gas man". Guess it's time to pull out another tyvek suit and scare the doodoo out of the two kids in the neighborhood. Boo! Happy Halloween!

I dressed up as a rockster for work today and my kilt worked perfectly. I put on a black t-shirt, eye make up, choke chain, Docs, leather jacket, leather biker hat and no sporran.

Interestingly I ended up with a kilted halloween costume twice this year and didn't plan on it either time.

The first time was Saturday. The wife and I went to hang out with some friends who were doing a haunted trail for the local kids. I had on my SWK Lamont tartan as that was just what I was wearing that day. I got roped into playing the part of the wolf-man. Actually it really looked good. The hosts said I was the "Werewolf of London".

Last night the wife and I dressed up to hand out candy to the trick or treaters. We've had the same costumes for the last three years, a king and queen. This time I matched up the costume (purplish in color) with my SWK Pride of Scotland economy. I just said I was a scottish king. The wife liked it better with the kilt. She said it looked more authentic and medievel.

I guess when you wear kilts like we do it was bound to happen. Once again they prove to be the most versital clothing.

Hey Blazn,

Anyway, here's the photo:

This has been a fun thread. I wish a Happy Halloween to all!

Says Panache as he now goes to don his Highwayman outfit to take Sinbad (as a wizard ) and Xena (as a spotted kitty cat) out to Trick or Treat.

Cheers

Hey Blazn,

Umm... it's not, actually. It's just some random fabric I found in Hawaii that looked "naturally" colored (except for the blue stripes lol )

I'd offer up the 6 yards I have left, but then I wouldn't have my fly plaid. lol

I thought about going in drag.

long wig, makeup, jewelry, fake boobs, high heels...
