Kilt jacket with Club-Crest?

[TSRalex]

Well yes, I think it would. Two questions occur to me though.

1. How often is one going to have occasion to wear it?

2. Is the expense justified?

A third question then inevitably occurs in my mind.

3. Why bother?

1. Once a month at regular meeting & on common visited events.
2. Are luxury expenses justified in general?
3. Increasing identity for group members?

As an Austrian, then fair enough.

As a traditional Highland Scot, I would say that a Club tie would be much less expensive and in keeping with traditional kilt conventions.

Out of interest may I ask, how many of your group wear the kilt at your gatherings?

We don´t have any dress code at the moment, but we discussed the theme often. On fact, that we all very affine with Scottish & Irish liquors, we are interested into Celtic history & traditions too. The idea in kilting is present since some years, but nobody made the kick-off for. Now I´m trying it.

BTW - we´ve an - in Austria very famous - Kilt manufacturer and some Austrian regions have their own Tartan. And we´ve a lot of events for kilt wearers.

Well alright you asked the question and I have given you my opinion. We appear to differ, no hard feelings.

[TSRalex]

.... and I have given you my opinion.

It was helpful to get an overview!

It´s normal to be different as an Scotsman and an Austrian.

You´re singing about "The Flower of Scotland" and I´m yodeling. I´m assuming your favorite liquor is Whisky and mine is Schnaps.

But I´m always open for singing your songs & drinking your spirits and I can imagine it similar vice versa.

So you´re right with: No hard feelings!

Actually I really dislike the tune of "Flower of Scotland" and I prefer Gin or Port, to whisky.

TSRalex,
I'm not sure that there is such a thing as a typical Scot but, if there is, it's not Jock!
Nor me!!

1 Once you reach such exalted ranks you are stuck with it for the rest of you life as an ex flag officer and expected to attend maybe half a dozen formal events a year, and a dozen committee meetings but they're not formal.

2, SWMBO would do the tailoring.

3, I'm not sure...
