Urgent .. to Cilt or not to Cilt

[Rigged]

I have to agree with Joe. People will think you're sharp just because you're wearing a kilt and not the same boring suits that every other man in the place will be wearing.

Go kilted and enjoy. I like the green jacket outfit!

Kudos to the Mrs. for the Award.

Tomorrow night I have to go to an awards ceremony with the wife in a rather posh hotel... Dinner Jackets etc... I did have some brogues but can't find em... Anyhow .. would I get away with these ...

The green jacket could pass. But you should borrow a plain tie. However it's the shoes that are the big problem in this case. The way I see it, you have two choices. Put a serious push into trying to find those broghues... or failing that, wear the trousers.

Derek, You do more than your fair share for "cilt and country". There is no shame in wearing trousers once in a while. In this case, they would conceal most of the high-top boots... assuming that's what you intend to wear.

Real men wear trousers too... and recognize when it is appropriate to do so.

Derek, this might be too late, but I think that the green jacket ensemble looks the best. You just need to wear the black lace ups instead of the brown. I think that would make a smashing look. And as others have said, who will really know anyway.

hmm...after pondering the question more, I've come up with this:

The worst dressed with a kilt is still better than the best dressed with trousers.

write that down.

You've obviously never come across three guys calling themselves the "Shirtless Shepherds" at a RenFaire.

One wrap, no pleats at all, fastened with a big safety pin. No shirts, painted with blue greasepaint. And the "tartan" was Hunter Safety Orange and black. In a fuzzy Polarfleece.

Ick.

one wrap...sounds like a skirt, not a kilt. I think my statement still holds water. Does anyone here wear their kilts with safety pins holding it together?

That sounds disgusting.

They should call themselves the "Towel Shepherds" instead...
