This thread has plenty of pictures of various wearings of the kilt. Do be polite and gentle when criticizing a kilt "don't". There are also various stages to kilt wearing, which is highly visible at your local Highland Games.
At Loon Mountain this past weekend: The kilt newbies were in several groups. One class was the new to kilts - came in shorts, and soon was in a Utilikilt off the peg. Kilt hem wound up anywhere between a little below the knee to five inches above. Class two - came in shorts and purchased a GB Tat special "designed in Scotland" Acrylic off the peg. Not all men are the same size, and very few wearing their new purchase at all "traditionally." Class three - the gents were lined up at Geoffrey Tailor's tent to be measured for a properly fitted custom wool kilt, and willing to wait, even if they stayed in trousers for the whole of the games. Those of us who are confident in our kilts were questioned heavily by the newbies, who saw that we were fully comfortable in our "traditional" kit. Politely explaining the "traditional" approach to kilt wearing in a respectful manner made for many friends, and few arguments. I had a great time in conversation with many young lads. They were very appreciative on the instructions for sitting down in a kilt, without advertising the answer to The Question. Many of the UK crowd were also interested in the whole kit look.
Some will be looking at this website, and at this thread. I hope that the posts are read as being our humourous way of bringing out the best in all forms of kilt wearing.
