Beg, Borrow or steal....

After bellringing for a 2pm. wedding at weekend I was keen to get down stairs as the others told me it was a wedding with kilted wedding party.(Always keen to have a look at a kilt or two.) I was disappointed therefore to find only one member of the party left....
Yellow based kilt
PC jacket
Full white fur dress sporran
Oatmeal hose+ red flashes (???)
PINK shirt & yellow/black stripey tie
Black shoes

I can only hope that the person entered in to the spirit of things by borrowing a few odds & ends to create this ensemble. I've loaned a few things out myself, but made sure friends knew what and how to wear it. As Kilties, how far do you think it is acceptable to go to 'correct' ill-informed kilt-wearers?

Sounds like a candidate for the" kilt don'ts" section Phil don't you think

If it is a stranger, it is none of your business unless he asks your opinion.

Now, if you got to know the guy, on some later date you might tell him your opinion. But for the present, it is none of your business.

I have to agree with Ronstew but I wish you had gotten a photo. Of course it might hurt my eyes...

Maybe he just likes his stuff colourful?

Apart from the pink shirt with a PC, it doesn't sound THAT bad. I thought red flashes were always OK.

I'm not a fan of stripy ties with kilts though. I'm not to keen on them full stop. Reminds me of school.

p.s. something about that description just makes me wish he'd been wearing white furry moonboots to go with the sporran!
