What standard kilt item to you just hate?

[siva011]

I for one strongly dislike the concept that dressy must = fur. Would really prefer if there were more non-leather options as well. I also strongly dislike being judged as "not formal enough" because my sporrans don't have fur, but maybe another point for another time.

Actually... hate is a strong word. Strong enough I'd say. I hate fur items!!!


And I'd also have to say, and this depends on what day you catch me, I can often not be a fan of wearing something up on my waist. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. Mind you, my waist is a bit..... rounder than I'd like. I guess I just need a kilt or two that is cut at jeans waist.

Would it make a difference to you if it were faux fur? Or is it just the idea/concept/look of it that you don't like?

I don't know.... I dislike fur for ethical/spiritual reasons (same reasons I am vegetarian). I'm torn with the idea of the fact that it is faux so no harm no foul, but at the same time I'm not sure I like the idea of promoting the style. This has been a tough one for me, with all other forms of dress fur isn't seen as mandatory like it is with dress sporrans.
