The whole nine yards.

It's always nice to wear the kilt, but I always get an extra kick out of wearing the whole rig to formal events.

I've got a convention next weekend, with a formal banquet. I'll be wearing the kilt with my Prince Charlie jacket and vest, my fly plaid, ghillie brogues and, for the first time, my new dirk.

I know the dirk is over the top, but I don't care. Maybe I'll cut my steak with it, just for show. I'll be the only kilted guy in the whole room, as far as I know.

I love that stuff.

I know what you mean Bob. Although my normal style is what I would call casual but neat, I do like to get dressed up occassionally.

And as far as being the only kilted guy in the room, that's part of the fun of wearing the kilt! Although we all want the kilt to be more generally accepted, it is fun to stand out.

I don't know...in some business environments, the dirk might be an absolute necessity.

Busines environments require a claymore,not a dirk.

[Bob C]

Well, I DO own a Claymore...

I still don't have the full get up maybe one day I will I know I want to get a nice Crail outfit so I can wear it to work.

I'd say the claymore AND the dirk, not to mention a targe.

I have to agree as well, Bob. I originally purchased my formal outfit for my wedding, and now I want to find other uses for it. Luckily my wife's company is having a black tie formal next weekend. I am sure I will be the only kilt wearer in attendance...

You can never be 'over dressed' according to Sir Thomas Innes of Learney (Lord Lyon King of Arms). This is what he has to say in his 1938 book 'The Tartans of the Clans and Families of Scotland' - 'Attempts by self-conscious lowlanders to convert the picturesque dress of the Gael into a "quiet style" and to deprive the garb of it's ornaments or reduce it to the drab monotony of Anglo-Saxon evening clothes are un-Scottish and contemptible.' - NOW THERE'S A MAN WHO COULD SPEAK HIS MIND !

Go Bob, go!! I also like to add my dirk for fancy dress occasions. How about some pics??
