Kilt Do's and Don'ts

[Wompet]

I'm afraid that I must disagree in part with the last post.
My brother does have all his toes (and fingers).











Oh, and svc40bt was well turned out in his USAK Hunting MacLeod, too.
(A reminder to be careful what you post - your subject may be a fellow member. Though I wasn't expecting someone from Frederick, Maryland at a wedding in Waterford, Pennsylvania.)

But then, he's also wearing a necktie and pointed collar, not a bowtie with wingtips. I think the bowler looks fine and he carries it off quite well (a hat's not a hat unless it's tilted!), all in all rather sharp.

Aside from lack of flashes and a sgain dubh, I agree. I couldn't pull it off myself, but i think he looks great.

So, submitting this to the rabble for critique---



What am I doing right/wrong?

Today at the ren fest (my wife didn't take no pics of me, but i was there in a black kilt with a BW3 blazing challenge shirt on... anyways..) I saw what at first I though was a guy dressed up in a kinda scottish way, but the pleats didn't look right, then he turned around.... the guy has no knees! well, perhaps he did, but I think that there are other issues at hand, but I am still new after all...



I think perhaps it was the belt....hmmm

Really, I know the shirts and jerkens can get expensive, but it seems like an odd place to skimp, unless I'm not seasoned enough to recognize a kilt yet...

Looks like a badly pleated wee kilt to me.

Looks more like a flannel kilt you can get at the Ren fairs.

Like I said! A badly pleated wee kilt~

both places at the local fair had relativly nice kilts. Overpriced, but...

The place I got mine says they are a 75% wool blend (not sure I believe it but hey..) and the other place that was cheaper claimed they were PV. The two places had about a $30 difference in price.

On the subject of authenticity at reenactment events, surely he should have removed the tattoo?!

Best wishes, Graham.

Funny thing, I heard an advertisement on the radio today for a cream that removes tattoos. http://www.wreckingbalm.com/ I can only imagine the dangers if it actually did something...
