    Do wear rubbers with your kilt:


    So you can go wading in your kilt:


    Don't go regimental until you're potty trained:

    Rubbers!

    Which brings in this questionhaunting me for a few days. I remember my strides in the marshy Highlands... and I'm also preparing holidays by the ocean side in Brittany. Wellintons, or rubbers are a must. But they don't go very well with a kilt.
    What would be the alternative ?

    Thank You,
    Robert

    I always just go for gore-tex hiking boots. They have done me fine when hiking in marshy areas.

    Don't

    A pic is worth a thousand words. San Antonio Highland Games 2008. This guy walked past CelticSire and me and we were both flabbergasted.

    You mean I can't just go to the fabric store, buy a length of plaid material, wrap it around my waist and call it a Kilt?

    What is this world coming to?!?!?

    Actually, that's what I did for my first kilt.

    It was Hallowe'en, and I bought five yards of plaid flannel, pleated the back, wrapped it around me, and grabbed a sword and went trick-or-treating.

    There is nothing wrong with costumes. Just curious, what did you do with the flannel?

    Personally I think wellies work fine with a kilt.
