Kilted Pictures

Well, the time has come!

I finally got some pictures of me in my great kilt. This is actually at my work, interpreting and reenacting the early American pioneers.

And please, no flaming for the kilt in this period. I was showing it as an example of the lack of cultural acceptance in that time.

What do you think?

More details, please. Were you portraying a Loyalist Highlander?

Kinda', I guess. To be honest, I just wanted an excuse to wear it, since there are no more RenFaire's nearby. One of the girls asked me to wear for the "fashion show," so I did. The biggest thing I was showing was how our ancestors used everything they could as much as they could (the kilt also doubling as a blanket, etc.), and then it was described how I would have been arrested had I been seen buy a sheriff.

Here is a picture of me in my traditional kilt.

Forgive the missing sock and the poorly tied garter. I was attempting to get everything on while keeping my neon white dog off of me.

It looks a little long, but according to everyone at the house, it hits mid-kneecap. The pleats aren't the best (hence the lack of picture), but I'm ordering a Frugal Corner box-pleat after payday.

Any comments?

Frugal Corner is offering Box pleats?

That'd put a smile on my face.

Yes. We can get kilts made to the Sett, Stripe, or Box pleated.

That's pulled from FC's website (FAQ section). I talked to Mark, and it just falls under the custom price range...as well as the custom waiting period...(beginning pre-jones until payday).

It was at Carter Caves State Resort Park, in Eastern Kentucky, on the last week of July.

Not a summer camp, but we do have some camps that stop by to go on cave tours.
