Kilt Do's and Don'ts

That ain't pants. That's his boots.

Jacket's too long, boots are horrible. But, y'know... he did turn out kilted to an event, so y'gotta give him props for that.

That's actually a Barbour wax jacket, which is worn by quite a few kilties, even a few here. It's perfect for walks, stalking, fishing, etc.

Personally, I've seen much worse outfits. If Ted would get rid of the dress sporran, he would look like a country gent out on the grounds of his estate.

I guess if your Ted Turner you can do whatever you want.

I tend to agree, the only thing that looks off to me is the sporran. Everything else is for function rather than for style. Wellies don't look good with anything but they are what they are. I quite like the look of a Barbour jacket with a kilt. Probably because I grew up seeing it and I wear one with a kilt. Even though it is longer than you would want for a kilt jacket, its purpose is protection and the longer jacket does that.

So for me with the exception of the sporran, the outfit is a DO.

Here I am in my MacDonald Modern.
I need to shorten it.
And get some hoses... If only I could find some that fits.
Oh... and a black belt.

Scottish Tartans Museum sells hose for larger legs.

I don't have a picture of this one I saw on Myspace but Skiltron, a music group from Argentina - shirtless guys in kilts. One of them appears to be the right length but most are too long.
Fierce face paint and kilts - Do.
All that with too-long kilts - Don't.

Santa just needs black boots I think.

I suspect this is the pic CT is referring to.

And, yeah. That's a don't.
