What to wear ...

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

So I'm going to the Gatlinburg Games this weekend and I am wondering what to wear. It is a given that it will be a kilt, and probably multiple kilts since I am looking at a 10 hours drive each way, and would not want to wear the same kilt for the drive as to the games (have to look my best you know).

So I am wondering, a PK, UK, AK, or (gulp) SK to represent the contemporary side of things? Or maybe the USAK casual (Ireland's national) or semi-trad (Black Watch)to represent a more updated traditional look, or perhaps the new SWK Heavyweight in weathered Lamont? And of course there is always the standard SWK in Nightstalker, always a good look (and the first real kilt I wore out in public). I also have the HW (not SWK but similar) Scottish National, and the box pleated Donegal tweed from Matt! Auuugghh, what should I wear. Or maybe I should bring all of them and change every 2-3 hours while at the games! It would give any XMarker's in attendance a way to compare all of these kilts!

So chime in guys (and girls), what do you want to see me wear, and if anybody wants to see/compare kilts from a manufacturer they have not seen (and that I own), let me know before Friday and I will throw it in to take along.

And if you are really nice, I will model it for you!

Wearing that kilt falls into the "compensated" kilt wearing category! And the compensation better involve large amounts of cash or a very willing and beautiful (as well as discrete and secretive) young lady!

KCW,

You should wear your new SWK Weathered Lamont, you just got it and have been dying for an opportunity to show it off.

Now that your mind is free of worries, YOU CAN GO TO BED!

Cheers

I've never been to those games but at other games I would stick to traditional tartans instead of the contemporaries. The weathered Lamont and Irish National both seem appropriate. Just my 2 cents.

Frankly, since you have so many options, I would nt wear one of your contemporary styles. Those are fine for daily wear, but since you are going to a Highland Games & Scottish festival, wear something Highland and Scottish! This is an occasion for tradition!

I have to agree with Matt here. Wear something that's Scottish in style for the actual festival. If you like, you can wear one of your contemporary kilts for the trip.
