Ok, so they're not MY photos, but...

I apologize to beloitpiper and everyone else in the forum. It seems that my statements about cost have hijacked beloitpiper's original thread. That was not my intention. But still, I feel I have learned a lot from everyone's responses. I'm just sorry that it led to some heated exchanges.

Good point about cost. The fella in the first pic is probably wearing $1000 in highland attire. That's a lot of money. How long does it take to save up that kind of dough? At $20 a week just a bit less than a year. Three bucks a day. How much is that? The cost of a beer down at your local pub or most of pack of cigarettes?

Here's how I covered the cost of buying everything at once.

I shopped around until I found a credit card that gave me air miles as well as a decent interest rate. I used that card to buy all of my kilts, etc., and then put it away never to be used again. (Well, until the next time, that is.) Every two weeks I went on line and paid $50 to the credit card company, and in way less than a year I had three things:

All my day wear stuff, a good cedit rating, and a ton of air miles. I now use the card exclulsively for filling up the car, and zero the balance when I get the bill at the end of the month. The air miles are picking up the tickets to Scotland this summer.

Well done, man!

I agree with the simplicity.

This isn't my photo either, but its one of my favorites for kilt simplicity.


Sweater, vest in lieu of sporran, and maybe no belt but hard to tell for sure.

And, hey, where can I get one of those crooks...look neat with the kilt but I don't think it'll be very functional with cattle.

That is a great look. Do any of you know what tartan this is?

The tartan is Buchanan.

What do you mean tux jacket with jeans not appropriate? You haven't been to Nashville then.

I really enjoyed the second photo. It just reminds me of how natural Kilt wearing really is, so I do agree with Phil.

[Kiltman]

Great photos worth taping to the mirror - as always less is more! I am struck by just how "at home" a kilt looks in the wide open spaces of the natural world.

Me too. Why would anyone wear something else?

Taking my own advice, I tried to be subtle today going to church. Here are the results.



What do you think? Any suggestions for improvement?

Oh, and those were taken by me. The guy in the photo is my friend Nick King, and we did a photoshoot last winter. The whole outfit is mine, but the model is my friend. I was the photographer.

Then I have to say that you, Sir, are a pro!

Looks very good to me.

Tie to church?
Maybe a pewter buckle or roller buckle rather than chrome?

Take care of your shoes in that snow – avoid salt slush.
