To dirk or not to dirk?

[Dale Seago]

One of the problems I think many of us confront is that just putting on and going out and about in a kilt is in-itself regarded by way too many as "dress up" or wearing a "costume." Don't get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with wearing costumes; it can be a lot of fun at appropriate times and places. But, if every time someone sees someone else wearing a kilt and dressed-out in what is obviously (other than the kilt itself) an attempt to "portray" some kind of character, whether fictional or historic, it just adds to the notion that being kilted MEANS being in costume. An attitude many of us (well, at least I) wished were not so.

The other thing to think about is quality. Some are exquisite works of art or are a rare historical artefact, but most look as they were made by a blind Tibetan yak herder who was trying to make a garlic press.

And plus yet another one!
