Pipers Wardrobe Challenge
This is a challenge in response and furtherance of a thread started by Dall Piobaire, called Pipers Wardrobe, asking for input about the traditional piper's wardrobe. Would it be possible for our piping brethren to do for the piper's wardrobe what Pinache and McMurdo did for civilian kilted attire in 1 Kilt 10 Looks : A Visual Guide to Formality in Highland Attire ? Any volunteers to show us pics of your kit, from No 1 Dress Military to pub night in flip flops? It would be great if you could explain the elements of your kit and any historical origins or associations, if you have that info...I hope our Piping brethren find enjoyment in the challenge, and pardon me for being a demanding sod. Regards...
"Before two notes of the theme were played, Colin knew it was Patrick Mor MacCrimmon's 'Lament for the Children'...Sad seven times--ah, Patrick MacCrimmon of the seven dead sons....'It's a hard tune, that', said old Angus. Hard on the piper; hard on them all; hard on the world." Butcher's Broom, by Neil Gunn, 1994 Walker & Co, NY, p. 397-8.
