I like that too.

And it has advantages. You don't see the bones in every corner, and with the amount of cloth you can't hear them rattle.

I think part of the reason he poses his male subjects with their variant kilt "art-tire" with so many beautiful women in lovely tartan based outfits is two fold, first to attempt to augment the scottish tartan theme overall to give it more credence, and second to distract the casual viewer away from some of the striking differences in his male model's kilt "art-tire" and just exactly how far away from traditional and functional kilt wear that "art-tire" actually is. His stylings are clearly meant to try to bring some different periods and pieces not originally intended for use with the kilt into the world of kilt wear without really making much attempt (aside from the token PC/Braemar sleeve dressings) to address the shortcomings of those peices and styles as they relate to classical kilt wearing and attire, and often thereby minimizing the kilt within the whole outfit by effectively hiding it with cover pieces like the frock coat. As I said in my first post a "fashionistic" approach indeed, although in some ways interesting, especially the sporrans.

Oh no matey, that looks like a lab coat made out of newspaper! If you gotta wear a heavy coat, nothing can beat an Inverness cape with a kilt -- haven't seen anything improve on that yet!

The look leaves me flat.
My opinion is worth exactly what you paid for it.

I love kilts
I love frocks (really want to get one)

but I don't think they work together.

No. No. No.

I like the idea of people (especially these "beautiful" people) experimenting with kilts, BUT...

It looks like the guy stole "Nick the DSM"'s idea for a clever, ossein sporran! I hope you have a patent on that.

Well there's an outfit that takes all the fun out of kilt watching.

It is like getting an Irish coffee served in a mug and without the whiskey.

This Austrian tailor insinuates that the word "kilt" derives from the Austrian word "kitl". That's balony!! Everyone knows that the word "kilt" comes from the vikings, the Norse verb to "kilte", meaning to tuck or wrap under something......... Or so I would like to think..............
Pretty girls though....
Skål!

Irish coffee is traditionally served in a mug preferably chipped/missing a handle served on a building site.
