What standard kilt item to you just hate?

[Sir William]

Chain kilt belts for day wear.

Red touries. I prefer them to be the same color as the bonnet.

PC and other formal wear worn before 6pm.

Blended Scotch instead of Single Malt in my sporran.

[Sir William]

I understand full well what you are saying. Rest assured that a lot of the kilt attire that you,and others too, consider as costume, the bamoral bonnet for example, is in daily use here in Scotland(not by everyone)and no one bats an eye over it. I for one wear a balmoral nearly every day kilted or not.

I, for one, am glad to hear it - especially as I plan to do the same when I visit Scotland this summer.

Fear of torries Sanford

Fear of the little pom poms

Hmmm, well as I said it must be a matter of perspective. Only place I've ever seen them is at ren faires and highland games, but maybe if I lived where you do and saw them on a regular basis, my opinion might be very different. I really didn't know they were still worn regularly even without kilts.

I guess I'm too corrupted by the American urban styles I was always surrounded by. You mean you DON"T keep the New Era shiny silver sticker on your crooked balmorals while you're wearing them??

[GMan]

Kilt pins, but that is just me.

In the nicest possible way, your answer does not surprise me. Perhaps you can help me? What is a New Era silver sticker?

I do not dislike any standard kilt item. I've pondered this question since the thread began and I have a hard time coming up with one. White hose maybe
