Dress Casual

**biblemonkey** · 12th March 12, 06:46 AM

I have seen alot of threads asking the "how to do it" as far as boots, non-kilt belts, dressing up a utilikilt, etc. so I thought I'd submit my solution. The only thing that's traditional abut this outfit is the argyll jacket vest and even then I tucked the pocket flaps for a more casual appearance. My wife says I look like a kilted biker. Sounds cool to me!

I think your wife might be right!

Yep, I just need to find a way to combine that outfit with my latest accessory.

Picked it up Saturday and fulfilled a lifelong dream.

Congrats! Fine looking machine. I've actually driven my aero 1100 kilted... Can't quite do it at highway speeds and it's a little too challenging to throw a leg over the goldwing

Don't think I'll even try it on my Triumph.

I think your wife is right, AND I like it!

(Edit: Not "my" look at all, not remotely, I wouldn't be caught deid lookin' like that. But on you I think it's absolutely smashing! I'm quite capable of appreciating the aesthetics of other styles on other people, and all the elements here are congruent and "fit together" well. That's the main thing that, in my eyes, looks "good" about the photo.)

Great look. I certainly couldn't pull it off but you do it in spades. Very nice.

It works for you. If you dig it, nobody elses opinion matters. Well, wives are the exception to that rule.

OOOH! How do you do it without apron flippage or the back of the kilt getting eveerywhere? I am dreaming up a way to prevent such things through finer textile engineering but I would love to try it without if it works.

And thanks for the compliments, guys. Always nice to know I'm doing it right!
