    Alright. Good plan. Let me do that. I'm gud at rufflin' the feathers, anyway. White look like cheap rented formalwear!

    There. Now I'm the trouble starter.

    So- onto the post at hand. You, sir, are very correct. I did indeed feel the need to stop dressing like a cave man when I got my first kilt. It was so elegant that wearing a t shirt all the time just didn't seem appropriate any more. From Steve Harris to Sean Connery at the payment to SWK 3 years ago. (I still go kilted Steve Harris from yime to time, though!)

    OK I'll bite this time only. I am highly offended when people posts that. It is not a fact and new people may think that is the accepted opinion.

    I don't think the white looks like cheap rented formal wear. Most of the pipers I see wear white and I never think they look anything other than sharp. I wear cream colored hose most of the time and they weren't cheap. They will go with most of my kilts. I don't like black because in my mind it looks like someone who forgot to put their pants on. (white knees and black socks) That is just my opinion and I don't make a point of posting that opinion.

    And most rented kilts are not the cheap kilts that many people buy and get told they look good. I applaud anyone who wears rentals to be able to wear a kilt.

    You have every right to think that white kilt hose look bad but please quit spouting your opinion as a kilt law.

    Now that is the last I am going to post about this issue.

    Just before my first kilt I reduced my wardrobe to white t-shirts and black jeans so I could just pull something out of the cupboard.

    Now I have shirts, kilt hose, kilts ... sometimes I need more time than my wife to decide what to wear ...

    I pay much more attention to my entire outfit when I wear a kilt, too. My wife always gets a chuckle when I ask her whether the elements of my kilt outfits go together. However, she also says how nice she thinks I look. The chuckle is easy to take when I know that she's proud to be seen with me. She's never said so, but I think she enjoys the attention I get from other ladies.
