The New Traditionalists (Traditional kilts, Modern looks)

[saxandpipes]

Cowher: well done! I have to agree with OC Richard, the kilt/sporran/footwear combo is great! And paired with the sweater, tie, and cap, it exudes an air of sophisticated casualness (or "comfort with style") which is not easily pulled off by most. Whilst it may not be "traditional" in the Scottish manner, I think it's a great look.

In fact, if I were trying to compile a list of "new traditional" styles to emulate, yours would be one of the defining looks. I really like it!

I also agree! looking great there Cowher!

Cheers,

Michael

I have to agree, Matt- You're looking quite sharp, and very comfortable and natural... and very respectable.

In contrast, you can see how I left the house this morning, below. The height of Neo Hegelian Highland fashion? Maybe (read: probably not). But is it a fairly modern look, with a traditional kilt? Sure.

BAD A$$!!! I love it.

BAD A$$!!!

Aye, but it would look better with purple hose.

Very nice, Ryan! I especially love the olive, fatigue jacket.

Nice to see you getting good wear out of that kilt, Ryan!

RR, Jon Cusack called and said he wants his look back.

Hehe- I'll think about it. Historically, purple has not been my favorite color, even though I do love the shade that Scott came up with for use in this tartan. I have a light green pair that I think should look pretty good, too.

Thanks, sir. That jacket saw my grandfather through every major battle in Northern Europe, during WWII.

I have to break the thing in, Matt. I will say this, though- The sheer EVIL of the thing is making it hard for me to bring myself to wear anything but black with it! LOL Seriously though, as soon as I get a brown belt to go with that buckle, I'm planning on trying brown leathers with it, along with a bisque colored shirt and oatmeal hose. Should make it LOOK less evil, at the least. :cthulhusmiley:

Does Cusack dress like that? Who knew?

Oh pish, you'll Say Anything.

Really
I think it looked better without the sunglasses ;-)

But without kidding, it's great.
