Kilted at the ballet

[Rex_Tremende]

What kind of kilt and jacket did you wear to the ballet?

I wore the Douglas modern tank that I purchased recently - the first time that I've worn it in public - and a crisp, navy blue linen shirt. I don't own a kilt-length jacket yet, so I had little choice but to go kilted "business casual."

This is the safe wardrobe choice, since people attend these things any more in anything from jeans-sandals-tee to formal. Business suits were the most formal male attire that I saw last night.

I am planning to buy some sort of jacket as a gift for myself toward the end of the year, likely some sort of argyll.

Sounds like a very enjoyable evening!

Something else to add to the list

I need more culture!
No, I don't mean cottage cheese. I have great hope of seeing more tartan and more of all styles of kilts everyday as I go along my way. I'll start with me. People will see a man in his kilt today. When you (or any other man) and I happen along in the community on the same day around the same time those people will see many more kilts than were actually there. The power and perceptions raised by increasing the numbers! Magnificent!!!
Kilts on and off stage raise the numbers in the audience's estimation and imagination!

I should think that where the arts such as theater, ballet, etc. are concerned, the audience would tend to be appreciative of such personal expressions such as wearing a kilt. A no brainer for sure.

I'm not so sure that a comedy club falls into the same artistic catgeory as the ballet... but a test of ones mettle and resolve.

Perhaps...

but until numbers increase greatly, it will just be assumed that there is a special reason for it.

The theater is across the street from Nicholson's pub, where the staff are in kilts and arriving kilted is supposed to get you a pint (I've been there in qualifying attire three times, and they have yet to offer, but last night they asked if I got one on my way out :confused: ).

When I walked in and approached the usher to be admitted, he said, "11:00."

"Huh?"

"You're not with Nicholson's?"

"No."

"Somone from Nicholson's usually comes over to ask what time the show is over," he explained.

"Sorry, I'm just here to see the performance."

Amazing, so many asleep when there is so much to appreciate. Could it be it is above their consciousness anyway? Well, possibly my consciousness at times.

Here's a special occassion. It's today. And do we know what that means? YES. It's Kilt day.

The numbers will increase, I assume. We just don't know when. So, I'm proceeding as though the numbers don't matter, because they don't.
Gonna put on my service boots with side zips and go for a walk now in my SWK Wallace econ. and black muscle-T. Might find a matinee to see and/or be seen.
Man what a beautiful Red/Black design that Wallace tartan! Another good reason for increasing the observances/ spottings/ visibility of kilts!

I have never been to the ballet, I was always afraid I would never be able to stay awake.

However....let me get this straight....in the 21st century some people attend the ballet in blue jeans, T-shirt and sandals? You need to repeat that for me because I always thought it was strictly a dress-up affair. :confused:

[Tattoo Bradley]

I agree. The thought of someone in jeans and sandals at a ballet of all things seems WAY off kilter....
