Kilted at the Ellicottville (western NYS) Fall Festival this past Sunday
The place was packed, but I think I was the only one in a kilt. Got called a dress and a skirt (once each), both time from vendors. Soon as I got there, couple of maybe 10 year old boys wanted a picture with me. Okay. Plenty of positive comments and a number of pleasant discussions. So what do you all think of my dress-up-and-go-to-festival gear? I still think the kilt is an inch too long!

Length is spot on. Hose could be darker. Good looking belt.

Thanks Chas. Always thinking. I thought cream colored hose would go good with red flashes. I have lovat green, lovat blue and black hose, but the green and blue are almost too matchy-matchy with my tartan. I want a pair of red hose, then I could wear my tartan flashes.
Oops! That belt is one I made!
Will be out again this weekend kilted, but don't know if I'll be able to get any pics...

Frank, I think your kilt is perfect; It's at your natural waist and it ends at the top of the knee. I don't think I'd want it andy shorter but, that's just my opinion.
My wife and I used to do a ski weekend every February at Holiday Valley (& sometimes HoliMont). We always stayed at a BB called the Ilex Inn. Very quaint town, in a really beautiful part of New York.

Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle.

Okay, okay, kilt is spot on. I appreciate the comments folks.
Nile, our middle son got married at Holiday Valley 6 years ago this past weekend. We generally go out for their anniversary (a great excuse to see our grandson), but this is the first time we rented a place on the mountain outside of Ellicottville. I will check that B&B out, but we just bought our own B&B, a 2012 fiberglass travel trailer. Pick it up Saturday down in NJ.
Cheers!
Frank
