Older brother is a kilt kop

[gsmacleod]

As a victim of many internet trolls over the years, I can tell you one thing.

I wouldn’t waste my time doing such a thing, I have a life to live and I won’t be wasting it trolling people on the internet.

If you are not interested in having another valued member of your forum, that’s fine with me.

If you are serious, perhaps something like these might be the best bet?

Legs would be covered, hose would meet the leggings and it would certainly be less bulk under the kilt than regular trousers.

Well yea simple trousers is all I had in mind, you think I’d wear jeans under it or something? Nah, one of my friends regularly wears kilt, trousers underneath and the hose which is where I got the idea from.

Not be mean, the stuff you say gets stranger and stranger. Soooo... your friend tucks his trouser legs into his hose? How do you know he has hose on if he doesn't tuck his trouser legs in them? I presume you meant kilt hose. Otherwise, what would be the point of mentioning he wears socks? Oh, do tell.

I wonder if this thread has passed the point of useful discussion.

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):

Yea, just imagine there being no bare skin

I suppose there is precedent from way back when the modern thing all started with the visit of George IV (but his were pink, I understand)!

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)

I’m guessing more people than not would realise that something is strange if your friend is wearing trousers under his kilt, stuffed into his kilt hose.

And even if you’re right and most people don’t notice, I can guarantee that at least 99% of people who wear a kilt would notice immediately. By your logic, if I play my bagpipes out of tune, most people wouldn’t notice (because the general public thinks that’s what pipes are supposed to sound like). Doesn’t mean it’s pleasing, musical, or correct.

The only new ideas that really get made fun of are the ones that don’t make sense. A kilt is, in a sense, the same part of the outfit that trousers are. You’re basically wearing two pairs of trousers at the same time.

If you really want to convince us that this works, post a pic of you wearing your kiltrousers so we can see what you’re actually wearing instead of having to conjure a mental image from your description.

Ya' know, gang, this is what he wants to do. I don't like it or think it's normal or sensible, but he does, and it's his choice. I'm not about to try to convince anyone to wear their kilt or kit differently unless they're asking for sartorial advice.

He's not.
