Kilted Cowboy

[mwrenn]

Howdy,

I know the thread has been kinda dead for a few weeks now, but since I'm new to the board, and this thread interested me, I thought I'd chime in.

Ole JimmyCarbomb pretty much summed it quite well, except for one thing. The black boot pictured earlier in the thread is the answer to the original "Roper" produced by Justin. Its name was the "Lacer". I own several pairs of this style of boot. The little fringe tag was removed back when I was in high school as it had a sexual preference conotation associated with it. After growing up, and especially after finding kilts, I put it back on. (I'm 29 now)

I wear my kilts (utilikilts) 7 days a week and only wear "cowboy" boots with them. Mainly the lacer style, either by Justin or by Ariat. When I go stomping around my familys ranch in North East Texas I wear my tall high heal boots for added protection. I hope to be able to get myself a nice tall pair of snake boots for this purpose some time in the future.

I have on occasion worn my black lacers with my Texas Blue Bonnet Tartan, hose and flashes. I find it looks sharp and adds that little bit of Texas to the Traditional Scottish Attire. I do own a pair of guilles, but talk about uncomfortable, might as well walk around bare footed.

At any rate - Howdy to all the other kilted cowboys in this world.

Howdy Sherry,

I love it too. Its a beautiful tartan. I was at the Salado Scottish Festival this past weekend, and all of the festival crew were wearing Blue Bonnet vests. They were very sharp.

Being new, I haven't uploaded any pictures yet, however, I do have many online in my yahoo pictures folder (http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/mcwrenn/my_photos) in the folder called "wedding". Feel free to check them out.

Hope y'all didn't get froze out too much last night (o:

Great look Michael. Like Sherry and you have stated, that is one nice looking Tartan.

Thanks for sharing, Michael. I love Mrs. Wren's beautiful gown, too. I had not seen the TX BB tartan used as a sash on a wedding gown before, & had not realized just how lovely it looks.

I don't think it got anywhere near freezing for us, but it is nippy & sunny (well, it's setting now).
