    Versatility of the Kilt (A little picture show)

    Hi Guys!

    I've always been fascinated by the many ways and occasions to wear the kilt. So I scanned some very nice illustrations by William Semple from "The Scottish Tartans" that give nice examples and would like to share it...

    Thank you for sharing these very interesting illustrations! They all confirm something we know already: the kilt is a very beautiful masculine garment!

    Neat illustrations! I had to giggle, though, at the first of the "historic" ones. I didn't realise that polo style shirts had that long of a history.

    Very neat. Interesting shoes in the third "day" illustration. Looks like brogues with kilties.
