I agree the road rash you would get in a crash, much less updrafts while going 70 with his kilt. I'm just asking because the hubby wanted to know.

I know you are going to step on someone's toes no matter what you do. An X- Kilt isn't as time consuming as making a full 9 yards kilt. Then again I'm a costumer by trade. Most of the things I make could be on stage for 5 minutes in a show for 5 performances then put back in the wardrobe to be used 5 years from now. However, he already has a pink costume he wears for ren faire's. Example of what I mean Having that for the highland weekends, or just hot weekends would be nice.

It is part of a think he had his "flamingo" do. His best friend nearly died in a car wreck last July. Before that he was calling my husband his "flamingo". On Boston Legal William Shatner and David Spader had an episode that they dressed up as flamingos, as the birds. The concept was , no matter what happens you are still my best guy friend. From then on they called each other flamingos. Hence my hubby and his flamingo.
The flamingo had teased me I should make them matching costumes, meaning the birds. After his accident the hubby had me make mirror image costumes in various shades of pink. They now have flamingo's on their capes. It is now my husband's trade mark to wear pink when we go to ren faire's. So he would wear it else where.

The fact he went to the trouble of making it, and wearing it i think would mean alot to some people.
