    Kilted On Cruise

    Here are a few pics of our formal night on board the Cruise. It was a great experience and i kept it on for the show after dinner and drinks at the bar. Not one bad or disparaging comment the entire night and in fact several comments were given days after i wore it expressing how nice i looked. A gentleman in a Tuxedo came up to me and said" I havn't seen a man in a kilt in ages." Then told his wife he should have got the kilt instead of the Tux. The Jacket is not a traditional kilt jacket but i felt i pulled it off nicely.

    My kilt is coming with me on my next cruise, I have been on 5 royal caribbean cruises and always the kilt gets forgotten at home.

    Think they will let me on the flow rider in a kilt and sporran???

    Nick: You, and your lovely lady, both "pulled it off nicely". Congratulations.

    Is the tartan the Green Mackay? If you ever get a Scottish jacket like an Argyll or a Prince Charlie, it will display even more of your tartan and sporran. Bon voyage!

    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    I'll be kilted in my own Ancient MacKay on a Alaska cruise in June.

    Elegance and refinement.

    It is the only way to cruise, isn't it.

    Regards

    Ive been in 3 cruises wearing kilts. All mine are the Utlility type with the pockets and such, so i wore them every day of the cruise including going into the ports and to and from the pools, etc. I only took 1 pair of shorts and 1 pair of long pants, but never wore them. Ive been on a total of 18 cruises but the last 3 I wore kilts.

    On this point, if budget is an issue VMac on this forum does a fantastic job of altering jackets. I have 2 that Victoria has done for me and they are fantastic. I am so pleased with the quality and they fit within my budget.

    Budget is an issue in a way. I can't justify paying the price of a Kilt Jacket with how Little i would actually wear it. Most of my kilt wearing is casual around town or hiking. I might pull it out once or twice a year and just can't see paying hundreds of dollars for that.
