first kilted pic

[NewEnglander]

I decided I finally needed to get a picture of myself kilted. With any luck I'll actually be able to display it in this thread. I haven't yet worn this outfit out and about, but I think it'd work alright. The kilt is my olive Utilikilt mocker and the waistcoat is from J. Crew.

You look very smart.

I like the direction you're heading. There's just something about a kilt that makes you want to dress a little better than you did the day before. Lately I've been wearing a lot of tweed waistcoats, too.

Thanks much, all. I'm a teacher so going to work kilted isn't really an option, but the top half of my outfit is what I wore to school today.
I just ordered another waist coat in preparation for the arrival of my new kilt in MacPherson hunting from USA Kilts. And if the ebay gods are good to me, I'll be getting a sport coat on the cheap that I can hopefully get modified to wear with the kilt.

Looks fine to me. You might want to add a sporran, and then again you might not.



I really like that bank of windows behind you. I bet it's very pretty when the leaves change.

Where did you get the waist coat from?

By the way, what do you teach?

Since waistcoats are relatively inexpensive (atleast compared to a jacket), it seems like an easy and inexpensive way to dress up a little better. Would you agree?

I wish the teachers at the schools i work for would wear kilts. that looks very smart!
Have fun with it.

Great direction, keep it up.

The vest is from J. Crew. I found it for about $30 at an outlet recently. Do a quick search for "inexpensive waistcoat" or my posts and you'll see a link to some cheap vests from J.C. Penney. Others have mentioned low cost vests from Target. I agree that the waistcoat adds quite a bit of class to an outfit. I've been thinking about getting a brown day sporran, but since I'm not wearing the kilt out and about much yet (and since it's a UK it has pockets) I haven't gone for it yet.

And, since you asked, I'm a science teacher. I teach some of the youngest students at our school. I've got a great gig, I get to hang out all day tricking kids into learning about science.
