kilted Halloween Costume

I agree that kilts can be worn in many if not most occasions, but if Raphael has decided that in HIS life, he's decided that a kilt is not something that he's comfortable with in the office, then it's his right to not wear one.

...just like it's his right to wear one to a costume party if he feels like it.

I doubt some lil old lady wants to walk by me while I'm on a ladder wireing up her ceiling fan and happen to look up (or maybe she does but I don't want her to) thats why I choose not to wear one at work.

Anyways I agree, most costumes include pants of so why shouldn't you be kilted? I'm sure unless he comes trick or treating at your door it won't bother ya a bit.

If people can work their day to day pants into a halloween costume, why can't we work the kilt to fit our halloween costume.

Ever since The Crow premeire in the movie theatre, I often wanted to dress up like The Crow for Halloween. I Instead of wearing a pair black pants, I will be wearing my black kilt.

If you want to do a kilted costume, you don't have dress it up like the typical highlander. you can use your imagination to create a unique costume. You can dress yourself up as a bounty hunter(from a galaxy far far away), vampire, rocker, pimp, safari hunter,or super hero(x-men?). The possibility is endless. Don't limit yourself.

has anyone seen the "highlander scotsman" costume at these halloween shops that pop up every year?

it costs 80 bucks and the fabric is so thin...heck I've seen thiker doillies(sp)!!!!!

that and the pleats are about 1/2" deep, AND go all the way around

talk about cheap! I could do better buying 6 yrds of McWalmart tartan and wraping it around my waist and look better ( for less $$ to boot!)

I'll admit I've dressed up as a military piper for halloween due to budget and time constraints. but this $80 costume is the WORST representation i have EVER seen !!!

I'm with Raphael, way back on page 4. Why can't we work kilts into our costumes.

I haven't worn pants in 15 months and didn't want to start just for a costume.

Boss said we could wear Halloween costumes to work if they didn't mess up our work and weren't too far out.

So, did same thing I did for the Pumpkin Festival last weekend. Did a black and white thing with my medical white UK original.

Well, I just got back from my weekly bagpipe lesson, to which I wore pants for the first time since ... hmmm ... February, I think. On the way out the door, my instructor said "Hey, where's your kilt?"
I looked at him and said, "Every other day out of the year I wear a kilt. Tonight's Halloween - I'm in costume!"
He got the joke.

Alan, you are absolutely right! Question: do you wear a kilt when you attend the ACLU meetings?
