Halloween Bifurcated??

I say go with pants for a costume. Perhaps go as "sheeple".

Remember to print a T-shirt with text "I wear pants, I am a sheeple"

We went to the Guide dogs for the blind christmas fair at the local church hall on Sat afternoon. A chap did come up to me at one point wearing a plain shirt and trousers and said I like your halloween outfit. I replied by saying 'and yours ain't half bad either, you've done a good job'. He did'n't like that one bit I assure you. Still he was the only one who mentioned my cilt. We are going out with some friends tonight to some country pub which are doing a Halloween theme type thing .. at least for the kids .. I intend wearing my cilt.

Im with Riverkilt on this. I will be going to my local pub where there is a live band playing. The band is going in drag but thats another story.... I will be wearing a black 21st Century kilt with black hose, black shoes, and a black or white shirt ( Im not sure if the black one is clean after dancing in it last weekend! ). Not a costume but just being clothed appropriately.

I do believe there is some overthinking here. No matter what you do, some people will think a kilt is a costume, but who cares what they think. A kilt can be part of a costume, just as trousers can. Stop worrying so much and wear what you want. And tell the "commitee" that the issue is closed.

I had way too many people tell me I had a nice costume on last year. I still debating weather to wear my kilt today or not.
Then again maybe jeans would be a scary costume.

I'm using today as a good way to introduce the kilt to the office. Probably won't win anybody over, but at least there is one day a year that I can do it with out issue (2 if you count national tartan day, but this will be my first one kilted, so we shall see).

I had the same concerns. I'm threading a needle here but I strapped on my PK Marpat with my old OD jungle boots and OD Wooly pully and waded in.

I am in a kilt today, not because it is Halloween, but because it is my wife's birthday and it is Samhain tomorrow. Let's not forget that most of the customs were practise for Halloween came from Samhain.

KT, good luck! I have found people at my work very supportive (in public!) of wearing the kilt. It has progressed to the point that now people are comfortabl enough to joke with me about it. At first nobody was sure what to say to me, so there were many "water cooler" conversations going on that I only got to hear about third hand. Nothing bad, just messed with some people's heads a (mis)conceptions!
