Kilts and costumes

[Mr. MacDougall]

Wow, I spend a day at work, and a fascinating thread springs up....

I ordered a Gryffindor house sweater and tie for Halloween this year. lol Im a Harry Potter dork though, so I imagine I'll wear them after Halloween as everyday clothes too. I think the crimson and gold should match my kilt pretty well too :-)

A little off-topic, but I wear my Ravenclaw gear year-round. Some of it looks mighty fine with a kilt, for that matter. 8)

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

1) I am totally, completely, 100% against romaticizing pirates in any way.

2) In the Live Journal Men in Kilts community, not too long ago, was a fellow who was doing the kilted pirate look, and made it damn sharp.

Well the offer stands! Open to all! If you are ever going to be in the San Diego (Oceanside) area - please PM me! - - Se habla español!

I wish it were in my travel plans. I remember the times we made port there, it seemed like a fine place... I'd love to go trap around Balboa park -- kilted, of course.

Hmmm, perhaps this year I'll try for The Red Death...

An opprotunity to get a scarlet kilt?

Now that's just silly, but Panache does have all those listed above and Spiderman, Superman and Batman. Unfortunately they are in underwear form.

Hey, no making fun of underroos!

Might I point out that no one on this forum wears a kilt in any less than the respect that it deserves.

And with that, I'll whole-heartedly agree. And I'll repeat what someone else said -- the kilt is subject to individual interpretation. Wear it, don't wear it, whatever makes you happy.

As a side note, a couple of years ago, I wore a kilt with a jacobean shirt on halloween, and my then-girlfriend asked, "What, you're dressing as yourself for Hallows?" It was one of the gateways to my wearing the kilt on a frequent basis.
