kilted Halloween Costume

[SouthernScot]

Hey, if pants can be part of a Halloween costume so can your kilt. I am going for the "Braveheart" look at the party(s)* we are throwing: blue face paint, kilt, Jacobite shirt, and my kid's foam sword and shield from Legoland. Now I am fully aware that I am probably mixing about 1000 years of Scottish warrior-wear (Pict through post-Jacobite) -- blame Hollywood. Plus, it give me the opportunity to happily expound on the myth vs. reality to any who may be curious (or within ear shot).

Best regards,

Jake

I agree with you Jake, and I too am going for the "Braveheart" look at a party this weekend. My neighbor joked about me wearing a kilt to the party, and before I knew it, her and my wife had come up with this whole braveheart idea with the blue face paint and all. It didn't matter to them when I tried to explain the historical inaccuracies..... we do have hollywood to blame for that! But in all honesty, most people won't know or care.

Actually, I was in a Hobby Lobby store a few days ago and they did have some lightweight tartan material that would have filled the bill for the "Braveheart" great kilt look...I didn't check the price, though. I'd just buy some material from the store and find the great kilt wrapping instructions online.

Best
