Kilt Do's and Don'ts

I agree. I don't have a problem with the look in general, other than the boots. I don't think they look right with the hose. And they catch the flashes!

He does have good taste in adult beverages, though.

I don't know - If you are going to wear a cowboy hat, and a cowboy Bola, then why not cowboy boots. Sure it's a stretch, but it sort of grows on you? I think I like it. The alternative would be what? Tartan jeans?

It is an interesting look. Although those boots look great for riding I really not sure I'd like to try a long trail ride in a kilt. All in all a creative look, but not working for me.

Doesn't look that bad, except for the hose poking over his boots.

Those are some nice boots.

I think from the calves up, he looks great. It appears to be a nice mix of cowboy and celt. I'm not sure what foot gear would be appropriate for that, but I don't think boots are it.

Another example from this past estes park games: Kilt too high, sporran too low (IMHO):

Ok this time I will agree with you.

He definitely needs to extend his kilt length by about 2 inches and tighten his sporran chain.

On a side note, I think it's freaking hilarious that you do the same thing I do when I go to a games. I bring my camera not only for the cool stuff, but to also take pictures of people commiting kilt DONT'S.

I try and get all crafty sometimes to get good angels on people committing bad kilt etiquette.

Slainte!

There are a lot of guys dressed like this at the Texas Scottish Festival in Arlington. Maybe I've gotten used to the look, but I have no issue with it. I see it as a blending of cultures.

Dean, I saw a lot of them as well. It doesn't look bad in our atmosphere but anywhere else in the world I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be as accepted.

Did you see the guy wearing a nice formal kit but tennis shoes instead of dress shoes/ghillies?
