Spats

[James MacMillan]

I haven't been to all that many highland games, so I can't really say what would be appropriate for the highland game that you are going to. However, at the games I have been to, I must say, I've seen every form of get-up imaginable. The attendees seem to break into two basic different groups. Those that have put on the kilt because they think they need to wear a kilt to a highland game, and those that wear the kilt as a normal piece of clothing……. Which group are you in?

Maybe a couple of other questions would help.

Is this a formal evening event? (I think argyle hose look really nice when worn with formal evening attire.)

Are you part of a pipe band? (Spats look really nice when it is part of a pipers band uniform.)

Would you wear spats if you were not wearing the kilt? (I find that if I just wear normal clothing with my kilts, I feel the most comfortable.)

If you weren’t wearing the kilt – what would you wear?

Good idea.

Ha, certainly not! Not enough throwing-of-heavy-things to be a formal event.

Are you part of a pipe band? (Spats look really nice when it is part of a pipers band uniform.)

Not this time. I'm going stag (that's a Clan Gordon joke).

Would you wear spats if you were not wearing the kilt? (I find that if I just wear normal clothing with my kilts, I feel the most comfortable.)

No. But I wouldn't wear a sgian dubh, hose, glengarry, or sporran either...

If you weren’t wearing the kilt – what would you wear?

Maybe some nice pants and shirt. Perhaps a sports jacket.
