The "kilt as Halloween Costume" debate seems to come up every year about this time. (Hmm, I wonder why? ) As we've seen there are usually two camps.

One says the kilt is clothing, I wear clothing as part of my Halloween costume, therefore there is nothing untoward in including my kilt as part of my Halloween get up.

The other side objects either because they feel it undermines the modern day wearing of kilts as street wear (IE a kilt in and of itself is not a costume), or because the kilt has special meaning to them, and they are offended that someone would dress up as a Scotsman as a form of "fancy dress."

I suspect "never the twain shall meet."

Personally I'm thinking about going as a kilted pirate in a black UK workman.

Best regaaards,
