Sweaters: In or out?

**ccga3359** · 25th February 08, 03:10 PM

I've worn my commando sweater in. When I first got my kilt it was winter and it was a little big for me. I looked fine. Having met McMurdo, I've found a reason to pound back the beer so I no longer need the bulk. Out causes the sweater to bunch up around the sporran or gets caught up on the buckles just making it look sloppy. A commando sweater is a form fitting sweater so tucking it it just streamlines the look. But yeah an Arun sweater leave out.

With very few exceptions, I would vote to leave it out.

Unless it's a thin fitted sweater leave it out.

Out. Out darn sweater. Out.

Thanks for the compliment Duke. Now I know I'm a berk. I"ve been wearing mine in on most occasions, but to reduce my berkness, I'd better wear it out from now on. Surely you've made your own mind up, unless you want to join the club.

Seems like this came up before and the people who said never in, didn't have the same definition of sweater that I did.

For me, if it's a big bulky sweater it's out - if it's a thin sweater it in.

After Jamie said never in, and I found a picture of him with a sweater tucked in, he said it wasn't a sweater, it was a shirt...

I'm not sure what picture you are referring to?

Well for starters - this one shows a tucked in sweater.

and look how wrong it looks (even thought it looks like a ribbed lightweight turtleneck to me, not a sweater). People learn as they go. I wasn't always as devastatingly handsome as I today, as I have learned my style as I go.

I have been on this forum for 4 years and I can guarantee that my style and opinions on kilts and styles has changed.
