He's a fabulous role model in terms of confidence, and sometimes, in fact usually, in terms of kilt-wearing. That's what makes it acceptable to me at least when he takes a tangent for fun.

That's why I voted "yes" - not because I recommend the look for others. Anybody else is probably wisest to wear a normal traditional kilt and wear it in the normal way with normal accessories. (And I don't want to get into a nit-picky fight over what "normal traditional" means - we've done that elsewhere and you all know what I mean by it if you don't get silly by picking the words apart one letter and one stitch at a time.)

Jamie is... . . . . . . . unique, and particularly loveable for that reason. It doesn't mean that anybody else should rush out and try his personal signature style. It doesn't always work on others.
I voted 'It shouldn't, but for some reason it does (in this case)' for exactly the reasons FB stated. This works for Jamie. He is unique. It would not work for me and I can't picture anyone else on whom it would work, either. The kilt comes from a very special culture; so does the Hawaiian shirt. I don't see them mixing well.
