Canadian Navy Seaman's Hat With A Kilt??

[Dixiecat]

ARRGGGGHHHHH --- HATE!!!!

With a kilt, no,no,no...sorry bud, would look weird.

(also all the guff about it being a piece of uniform, and illegal to wear it yadda yadda BS rumblings, you know what i mean)

Also, what is weird, is the chin stay (strap under chin) is even sown on incorrectly, he couldnt wear it properly if he wanted to...

The blue Jean collar has two stripes? mental. (costume)

The dancer shown on the first page of this thread is not representing any navy in the world. He's just supposed to be a generic sailor doing a sailor dance.... However, he does have a number of technical errors according to the SOBHD dress code. 1) the hat as I have previously noted, and 2) the collar must have 3 stripes. Btw, the collar according to the SOBHD must either be navy blue or denim and either type can be worn with both the navy blue or white costume.

The chin strap is there to hold the hat on during the dance. If you know of a better way please share.

The hornpipe is quite old and I find it quite funny that Highland dance has preserved it. We also preserve the Cakewalk, probably the only dance organization to do so.

No, that was the proper costume for the Hornpipe.

Jack Daw was commenting that he'd seen dancers in kilts wearing the hornpipe hat which is NOT the proper costume for either the hornpipe or highland dances.
