Acceptable attire?

[ardchoille]

As always, these replies make me proud to be kilted in public. The X Marks community ROCKS!

Funny that, outside of these forums, the bad comments usually come from men but the compliments are from the ladies

[ardchoille]

Wow! I wouldn't be able to advise you other than to say that surely if you're comfortable then surely that's what matters?

You're not alone in this way of thinking

[Monkey@Arms]

Maybe he thought it was one clan badge too many? Ah, that's probably giving him to much credit, that he was thinking, I mean.

Wear what you like, at least until you run into a guy that has one of these:



Best regards,

You look fine to me, although the sporran looks a little low.

Do you wear the Jacobite shirt everyday?

I would agree that one should never wear a bonnet with formal attire, but I do not agree that wearing a balmoral makes you look like a tourist. I've seen plenty of gents wearing balmorals with day/hunting attire (our own kevinkinney, for example) who look very natty.

T.

Indeed...and I even know a couple from the Highlands (born & bred) who wear them daily.
As a "hat guy" (kilted or not) I could care less what anyone thinks

As for Ardchoille, I think you ran into one of those poor miserable wretches in life that I call "know it all's", who in fact actually know nothing

& might I add you wear it well sir!

I don't wear these shirts everyday, but I do have more of them than any other type of shirt - they are the most comfy shirt I've found.

Looks Great to me!.

I'd say you look great, and phooey on them. Yes, the sporran could be a little higher, but other than that, and that's a minor thing, you look terrific.

Everyone knows the kilt police are too busy using their curved mirrors to check underkilt compliance to look at your headgear. ;)

Yeah, you do look sharp. And I agree, those Jacobite shirts (is that one of Buzz's?) are about as comfortable as shirts come.

Personally, unless I'm going for some sort of historic look at a scottish event (at which time, I wear this great broad bonnet that Matt hooked me up with), I just wear a ball cap... in fact, I almost always wear a ball cap, kilt or no... I really only take it off in the shower. It's all about what you're comfortable in.

I say most people just have too darn many rules, come to the kilt. To me, as long as everything tones well enough, and you're not wearing a swingin' six with a stained wife-beater and platform shoes, you should just let your concience (or fashion sense of humor, as I call it) be your guide.

I shudder to imagine what the kilt police would think of me, sometimes. Acceptable attire? Every once in a while? Why not?

Ah! So, you're THAT guy eh?? I recognize the picture from a post in Matt's blog. It's all about being comfortable in what you're in, my friend.
