Kilt Do's and Don'ts

[Mr. MacDougall]

Jacket's too long, boots are horrible. But, y'know... he did turn out kilted to an event, so y'gotta give him props for that.

I had problems with the first two, so I tried to fix them. Can you see them now?

That's actually a Barbour wax jacket, which is worn by quite a few kilties, even a few here. It's perfect for walks, stalking, fishing, etc.

Personally, I've seen much worse outfits. If Ted would get rid of the dress sporran, he would look like a country gent out on the grounds of his estate.

I guess if your Ted Turner you can do whatever you want.

I tend to agree, the only thing that looks off to me is the sporran. Everything else is for function rather than for style. Wellies don't look good with anything but they are what they are. I quite like the look of a Barbour jacket with a kilt. Probably because I grew up seeing it and I wear one with a kilt. Even though it is longer than you would want for a kilt jacket, its purpose is protection and the longer jacket does that.

So for me with the exception of the sporran, the outfit is a DO.
