The Piper's Wardrobe

I'd say the safest outfit a piper can wear is an Argyle jacket, tie, and tank. It's classy and works with almost any occasion.

I'd say the safest outfit a piper can wear is an Argyle jacket, tie, and tank. It's classy and works with almost any occasion.

The standard outfit of our museum's "piper in residence" is 8 yard kilt, white shirt, black Argyle, black bow tie, black glengarry, grey hose, black leather "hunting" sporran, and ghillies. Sometimes she'll wear white hose or bottle green hose.

She has a few other outfits she can wear if the occasion demands, but this is her standard and it seems to work.

(BTW, yes she is a female piper, and she wears men's clothing when piping, as she considers it a "uniform." When she's not piping she dresses like a lady).

Point being, a simple black Argyle jacket, white shirt and black tie will go far.

Okay, I am sorry, this is my fault. NorCal came closest to hitting the proverbial tiny nail on it's tiny little head.

I should have put this in historical, but what I was trying to find out was if there is historical providence for attire singular to the post of a Piper.

Sorry, my bad, but I appreciate the input!
