    Since the thread title even says "...not about kilt", I have moved this to Off Topic.

    Good observation by the way. As for Jamie's comment about Highlander, I have always wondered how any of those guys managed to hide swords under a jacket or sweater and still go about their daily lives without the swords being painfully obvious.

    I've managed to walk around with a copy of a Blade (vampire) sword under my trench coat. It IS possible, though not easy. Highlander didn't show him sitting, did it?

    I have the series DVD's and on one it showed how the swords appeared. Aparently, as they were shooting, someone sttod just outside the frame. When the actor reached back to "draw" the sword, the prop man would hand the sword to him.

    Of course, that's the movie mechanics. It still doesn't explain the story reality.
