Kilt Do's and Don'ts

That is truly one of the worst kilt imitations I have ever seen. . . . is that a cardboard sporran?

[sharpdressedscot]

Yup, sure is. Really pathetic, I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those.

[McClef]

Not only is it an insult to Scotland but also to Gilbert and Sullivan!

That get-up doesn't really make me angry, but it does make me laugh.

It's just **explitive deleted** Ridiculous!

Just remember, it's a stage costume and not real clothing. Such are designed and constructed to get into and out of easily and quickly. Quality or accuracy in design is irrelevant

In the 1971 version of "Kidnapped" (starring Michael Caine), Highland soldiers were clearly in close-up wearing cut-out flat or cardboard sporrans. Thecamera got just a little too close to avoid showing such fakery in costuming.

This costume is designed to be looked at not from close range, but from the audience often hundreds of feet away. The same holds true with Stage makeup, it looks really scary close up.

So your saying from the back row he looks like this?

Not in the least. That man doesn't have a pith helmet! (Like all thoroughly Modern Major Generals wear!)

How silly of me!
