Guess what weather I got for my first kilt-wearing day?

**Kinth** · 20th January 13, 04:48 AM

EDIT: Thanks to the admin that fixed the title.

I just recieved my Stillwater's kilt (Black Shadow tartan in heavyweight), and I decided to wear it today to visit my fiancée, but the weather wasn't what I expected for my first time :mrgreen:
Anyway, I've felt very comfortable and warm, so it's not a big deal.
What do you think of it? (I know I'm not in traditional suit, I'm just planning to wear it casually, and YES, I know my sporran is crooked, I couldn't see it when the picture was taken).

Hi Kinth,
Excellent. We have the same weather as you just now so you look every inch a Scotsman in Scotland.
I assume your fiancee approved!

I see nothing wrong with your outfit at all. I get cold legs, so I would have worn hose covering my lower legs. Otherwise, looks A OK to me.

Regards

Chas

Hi Kinth,

Very nice. Just one little comment: put on hose! It will make it more complete.
....and keep the heating on in the area between the belly button and your shoes!

Amitié

Looking very smart against the snow.

Actually my fiancée thinks it looks like a "schoolgirl's skirt"

For the hoses, I don't have any, and moreover, I think it wouldn't be as "discrete" as normal socks when worn with my military-style boots. And as I'm very thin, my flashes cover more or less one third of my leg, I think it looks quite strange.

Black wool hose w red garter ties will bring warmth and a dash of color. Great look and welcome to the kilt wearing days!

Hi Kinth,
"Actually my fiancée thinks it looks like a "schoolgirl's skirt" "
I think the two of you need to have a very serious discussion before the wedding day!!

Looks good ... some long socks would look good too and be warmer ... dark charcoal are nice

Thanks everybody,

First of all, I have found one pair of black hose, not really intended for this use, but it will do the work for a moment. The only thing is that I only have black flashes, so it's black on black with black kilt and black shoes... Anyway, I love black, so it's not a big problem.

Second, Crash, the problem in Paris is that everything is expensive, especially for a student, and there are very few places where I could learn the bagpipes, due to the sound volume. This, combined with the very few celtic bands able to teach this instrument, and the fact that I don't have any car/bike/camel to go outside Paris, and you'll understand my pain.

And last, Alan H, there is absolutely no problem in correcting me, I'm the first one to know my english is not perfect, and this way I can get better each time you point out one of my mistakes.
I'm not a man "hose" going to resent you for correcting me.
