Older brother is a kilt kop

[AmateurKiltsmen]

This thread is starting to remind me of the kid a while back who bought a ghille shirt with his kilt from a tourist trap and insisted that it was the traditional shirt to wear with a kilt, despite the shirt being a recent invention.

Amateurkiltsman, you do you (and your friend can do what he likes) but realise that trousers under a kilt isn’t the way a kilt is intended to be worn. I still imagine it looking something like this (but hopefully with a proper length kilt):

My friend wears “traditional” highland wear and it looks great, honestly most people wouldn’t notice.

I mean yea the way a kilt is traditionally worn is with nothing underneath, there again the way of traditionally doing ham radio is with a spark gap transmitter, just because it’s tradition doesn’t mean you should, especially when practicality (and legality and safety) is involved, compromises have to be made especially if you want to do it daily.

Every one makes fun of new and unique ideas, it’s normal.

It might not be how they are meant to be worn (even though woman do it all the time) but it is one of the ways they can be worn.


As a side note, none of the highland wear is traditional as such, it’s all Victorian inventions because kilts were en vogue, none of it is trad, unless you want to wear a great kilt (without a shirt underneath either as those are a modern invention)
