Kilt Do's and Don'ts

[Archangel]

Or the one in the middle just dropped his pint...

yeah, or that, I've seen that posture before.

Alberner Hase, Kilts sind für Schotten >Silly Rabbit, Kilts are for Scots<


Best line I have read in a long time...I got the TRIX line- LOVE IT

That's because they're wearing KILTs and they are wearing them the right way around. Those items would be visible from the other view.

Are you joking? I don't get your point.

There is absolutely nothing in that picture that shows that the models are wearing kilts. That may the impression that Hilfiger is trying to get across , but he fails .
It the models were not so scruffily presented , and had their shirts tucked in , and possibly better leg/foot attire , then the concept just might work .
Alternatively , if the photo had been taken from the front it may also have worked .
As it stands , all the photograph depicts , is four models in tartan skirts , with checkered blouses and short socks.

And Archangel , in answer the insult that you deleted ,
I did not arrive here by mistake .
Your mistake will be to insult again .

No offense, but if you look closely you can see the model on the far right is turned slightly towards us and you can see he has a flat, unpleated apron. And there is no seam to indicate that it closes on that side(Men's kilts close on the other side.) Therefore it would appear to be a men's kilt.

Now let's not turn this fun, amusing, long-lived post into a fight that gets the thread closed.

There is no need for anyone to insult anyone else or for anyone to start complaining that a company are showing a bunch of men in dresses.

I have seen many a pleated skirt that has a flat panel in the front .
My contention is that the Hilfiger advert depicts 4 men in tartan skirts .


And I agree with you , no need for a member to insult another member.
Hence my objection to the member Archangel insulting me .

I think we ought to chill out a bit here... Agree to disagree.. Ther is no need to get bent out of shape.. It's only a picture after all is said and done

Quaich Maker:

105 pages, and it'd be a shame to have the mods lock it down. You are ENTIRELY welcome to your opinion as to what makes a kilt a kilt and not a skirt---even if our definitions differ. Elsie Struhemeyer holds to a very rigorous definition of a kilt too (eight yards more or less, worsted tartan wool, knife pleated).

I most humbly suggest that, as a new kid on the block, you focus on catching more flies with honey than with vinegar.

Best,

Your mistake will be to insult again .

And yours will be to mention it again.

Archangel, leave it where it is.

Let those with ears hear.

. Something really sad has happened to the guy being held, like maybe the guy's puppy just died or something like ash scattering ceremony.

This AD is sooooo much more enjoyable now that we can imagine what might be going through their mind, about what went off the cliff.

DO use kilts in ad campaigns so more people get used to seeing them:

I like this. Certainly there are a few fauxpaws to be seen. but it certainly gets kilts out in the main stream and in a positive light.
The Grundge look kilted is not my thing, but looks OK!
Add your (whats the story line):
"Sorry man, we had to do it, he had his kilt on backwards!"
