I think i'm turning into a kilt snob...

[sharpdressedscot]

Nice outfit Rogerson, got me the same rig. Cavalry Regimental Supply boots, wool pants, sack coat, big ol' strap, replica spencer etc. Only no dang horse!

And I sure do wish folks would follow the rules at them Ren Faires. Was a dang fool rulebreaker wearing a Utilikilt workman's that activated my kilt addiction! Never thought of kilts, even when at highland games. Then I saw my first UK and it made so much sense I siddled up to him and got the name of the thing off the logo on his tail end.

Went home and googled it up...now I own me 15 Utilikilts...and a whole lot more kilts...have bought 56 so far but sold some off I outgrew and need to sell off some of them UKs I've outgrew. But my life sure would be simpler and I'd have a lot more money and a lot less wool things if that fool woulda stayed home or wore him a tartan kilt so I wouldn't have noticed his "Scottish Jeans."

I normally hate rules and love the edge of the envelope...but that one time...if that guy had just stayed home...or if I had just stayed home...I'd have a lot more closet space...but I'm guessing the kilt market would be a lot flatter now too.

56 kilts... what do you do in your spare time?

I think kilts can fit into a Ren Fair if they do it properly, not Braveheart style...

Back on topic - When Monkey@Arms were walking around the Queen Mary Games we were remarking on the same thing. Just being members of the X-Marks clan has made us more knowledgeable that the average Jock or Angus. We prided ourselves in picking out the odd sportkilt or badly worn acrylic. It was also very easy to spot those individuals that were plainly very comfortable in the highland dress and those that seemed almost to be embarassed walking around in a skirt.

Exactly right! Post the pics of said lady without underwear!
I think that's what Jamie is getting at, but I could be wrong.

...I'll let you critique my "wearing of the tartan" this Saturday at the Phx games...

Great, now when I see people on Saturday they'll be looking at me thinking "Oh he's just being a snob and overly critiquing the way I dress." when odd's are that I'll probably be the worst dressed out there. LOL! I should have just kept my mouth shut.

But, but, but.....I LOVE HER!!!!

I'm confused. You want Ayin to become a Moderator?

Are you saying that all moderators are snobs?

[Panache]

Are you saying that all moderators are snobs?

Not at all, simply that we are all Dark Lords of the Sith.

...err...um...

Panache passes his hand in front of his monitor

...why yes indeed, we are all Kilt Snobs

These are not the droids you are looking for

You may go about your business

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

I am not sure I like the title of snob.I think I prefer the title of" kilt watcher".I have done it most of my life--60 plus years.The trick is to see all and say nothing,not one word ---unless asked by the wearer.It is the Highland way.We admire a well worn kilt and smile inwardly and we cringe inwardly when a kilt nightmare goes by.Be warned,visitors, most of Scotland are kilt watchers, the trouble is, that often some of us don't really know anything about the kilt.

Haha, Arlen explained this to me when I was visiting him in Scotland. I like to think I wore the kilt well while I was there, and we both even got complimented a few times!

This is and has been my style for years, and I feel comfortable going out like this. While serving with the Australians and New Zealanders I snickered at the men for wearing Capri’s’, but that was their accepted style. So, if one chooses to wear a Velcro sport kilt with sandals and a beer t-shirt, then go for it because everyone is entitled to their own fashion statement or style, and that is why I am a soldier in the US Army, so people can dress like fools or parade down 5th Avenue New York in an 8 yard premium hand sewn kilt.

As one who HAS paraded down (well, actually up, but let me not quibble) 5th Avenue wearing a handsewn kilt, please accept my thanks for your contribution to this.
