    Apparently, the right way to wear a kilt....

    I was at a clothing store in Kenosha, Wisconsin today. Up on a shelf they have a mannequin wearing a kilt. At first glance I thought it looked wrinkled. But upon further inspection, I realized they had put the kilt on it almost entirely backwards. When I pointed it out to her, (Just thought they should know.) she said that's how she got it in England, so it had to be right. Apparently the kilt I was wearing wasn't enough to convince her...

    Did she (they) get the kilt already on the mannequin or is she the dummy?

    Well it came like that on the mannequin, but it's rentable. It comes with a black dress shirt, jacket, tie, a tam, and a fly plaid. I don't see how hard it would be to just I dunno... turn the kilt?

    Shall we place a wager, perhaps? 10 shillings and a new kilt.

    Is it worth pointing out that as the English dont wear kilts (as a general comment!) why would the fact that it came from England make it right?

    Nope, probably not.
