I will be wearing mine with the kids as well. I will wearing it respectfully and not in a costume fashion. I think it's a great way to get out there and mingle with folks and even start some nice conversations about kilt wear and tradition. Good luck all who do the same.

My dear wife told me this evening that if I try to costume my kilt tomorrow she will never let me wear it again. When asked to explain, she told me it is a garment and not something to be messed with as a prop or cheap costume.
Yep, she's a keeper.

Okay, I'm to give my take on this by totally embarrassing myself. Five years ago today my daughter was married on the island of Maui. The night before the wedding, she asked that we all dress up, Hallowe'en style, for a dinner. I wore a Sportkilt. I'm posting a second picture, taken on the wedding day, to try to make amends. Jock, please forgive me.

Well your wedding day attire certainly makes up for it. Faultless in my opinion and for a special occasion like this, exactly how it should be done.

Nothing to forgive my dear fellow.
I think one does not need to be too straight laced about these things. Do I like the kilt used as a costume? No, but others see things in a different light and that is the way life goes. The important thing is to know how to dress appropriately when one needs to and that goal is not always achieved by some. However, I must congratulate you and your attire in the charming second picture of yours, the picture is perfection in every way.

The bewitching night is now over and 200+ costumed children visited our home for a treat. One costumed couple (from many blocks away) actually brought their 2 year old by because they heard there was a gentleman in a kilt handing out candy. After the 'Trick-or-Treat' was over some of our adult friends (costumed, of course) came over for a treat of a different kind (found in a bottle). I was the only one dressed normal the whole evening.

Simon Fraser fought as MacShimidh, a Highland chief… wrapped and belted in a plaid over the top of his linen shirt, like his ordinary kinsmen. He put a bonnet on his head, and stuck the Fraser emblem, a sprig of yew, in it. With the battle cry, A'Chaisteal Dhunaidh and the scream of the pipes, they charged to battle.
