    Whatever you do, enjoy yourself! (It sounds like a recipe for fun.)

    I wear my kilt almost daily anymore, so for a changeup I'm going to be a western gunfighter.

    No kilt for me this Halloween. I'm going "Old West" this year, but not your typical cowboy costume. I'm gonna be a city slicker; I got my derby and everything.

    I'm going to a costume party this weekend. I'll wear a toga. Is it a costume? Yes. Does it involve the self-inflicted cruelty of trousers? No. So it passes both tests.

    It's a good toga, too, with a fur cape and everything. Rather than sandals, I'll wear my steel-toe boots with it.

    We have a party to attend this weekend as well. Thought about doing the full-blown 1745 Jacobite thing, but I'll probably go as as 1700's seafaring man instead, and deny all night that I'm a pirate.

    Like you fellas, I'll probably just raid my closet (actually, my flat drawer) and go in full kimono goodness as a geisha.

    Halloween ideas

    "Kilts are not costumes, but costumes can have kilts" Well put.
    I have a couple of Jakobite shirts Which fall into the Costume Catagory.
    Who has ideas on accessorising my kilt and Jakobite, to be a good Costume?
    I am at a loss as to what would be appropriate. Any ideas welcome.
