Kilt Do's and Don'ts

[Ayin McFye]

Ah...okey!



Calling reenactors "period nazis" is a bit strange...not friendly either.

The whole point of historical groups is...being as historical as possible.
A bit historical and a bit "do as you please" makes no sense at all.
Calling those who try to do this right nazis is way out of line. When you bent history it becomes fantasy.

All should do what they want, but respect those who try to do something right.

My 2 cents

My appologies I truly wasn't trying to offend, it is an actual term used by some SCA individuals to identify those that would yell at someone because their belt is black, and the black dye hadn't been invented yet for example. Anyways though, this is the Kilt Do's and Don't thread so let's get back on subject and talk subject related. --->>> Transistion --->>>

Speaking of those who are "strict" in their re-enactments, there are those with every sect of life, even kilt wearers. I know that they way I wear my kilt isn't "entirely" accurate, but i'm completely ok with that. I don't have a good kilt belt yet, and I don't have any kilt hose, so I just wear a nice belt, and black socks for now. Some might say that what i wear isn't right because i'm not representing a kilt wearer the way they think we should be, but i would disagree.

A kilt is like a pair of pants. Any accessories that i choose to wear or not wear with my kilt should be my decision. Now if i was trying to pass myself off as a true re-enacter then, by all means I should be held to much higher standards. But just for casual wear, there really shouldn't be any rules, other than ediquitte.

Just my two cents, and my attempt to put us back on track with this thread.
