Last Halloween, as I have mentioned on this forum, I got up the nerve to rent a full blown, authentic, PC & Black Watch ensemble.....flashes, Ghillies, the whole enchilada. I wore it to work and my fate was sealed. The reaction of the employees and hotel guests was overwhelmingly positive. I have never had anyone react that positively to something I was wearing since my wedding day in my classic tuxedo. I have since purchased the Gordon 8 yarder, Argyle & PC jackets, and dress & daywear sporrans. My new personalized license plate says "SPORRAN" and I'm planning a trip back to Scotland. Did a "costume" influence me................a resounding "Yes!". There are cheaper pursuits, but I'm having too much fun with my kilt to care. I plan to wear my kilt in some manner this Halloween because it's another opportunity to show it off. Kilt on!
