Modern take on the kilt?

This is Tommy Flanagan (on left) who was honorary Parade Marshall in New York on Saturday. I don't know who the other gentleman is.
Interesting (?) take on the kilt.

looks like their boots could use a little attention.....in my opinion

What's the story with the extra material coming from under their vests? It looks like pockets hanging from the belt.

If you need to add trouser pockets to a kilt, why not just wear trousers? Or shorts if length is tre issue.

Google 21st century kilt pics. It's a fashion thing. Big empty pockets (look even stranger when they're full of "stuff") and no sporran.

That is my thinking as well.

That many pockets (even the right sleeve) is certainly a fashion statement. Those boots do need attention Terry but look like honest scuffs on the toes.

I'm all for scruffy boots, but not when everything else is smart and obviously brand new.

Not Howie in the pic, but those fellas are definitely wearin Howies' work. It's just another contemporary take on the kilt. I used to like it in my early twenties, now I'd feel out of place lookin like that.

And the boots, they're scuffed up on purpose, it's the vintage look that the British brand All Saints made so popular about 7 year ago. I used to work for them and honest to goodness, the shoes came out of the box looking like they had seen combat in 10 different countries.

For someone still angry about the change in fashion from box to knife pleats, this is an abomination!
