Your first attempt at kilts (or Wall of Shame)

[BLAZN]

Have at it:


This was at the boys' school's Halloween Parade. Off hand... the kilt doesn't have enough pleats, the fly isn't pinned at all, the sporran is tiny and pushed to the side, and I'm wearing spats. TERRIBLE!

What do you guys think?

I think it's fine for the purpose for which you wore it.

[The Supreme Canuck]

Sure. It's a costume. Not that bad for the purpose.

It's not as awful as some I've seen.

As for the "spats," tartan footless stockings are called "moggans" and would have been worn with "currans" or "cruarain," which are hide shoes laced onto the foot (ancestor of the modern "ghillie brogues") with the hairy side out.

The hair actually improves traction on wet grass and in mud.

Company picnic, squirting the CEO, setting a really fine example for the youth of how to enjoy oneself while kilted. I know, no hose... but I could have used one to refill the squirt gun!

There's nothing wrong with how you're dressed, it's casual. Now hose and sandals wouldn't of looked right.
