I'd better reply before this gets deleted...












It's because those items make the traditionalists cringe!














Much like this:

For the new members of our forum:

Flat caps:
Many do not feel that the flat cap should be worn with traditional Highland Attire. Only the Balmoral, or Glenngarry are acceptable.
Many of the rabble do not fully embrace the traditional Highland Attire thing and believe a flat cap should be worn with a kilt.
There are also a few "traditionalists" that feel the flat cap has very limited uses with the kilt.

White Hose:
If you should hire a kilt, or Highland kit, the Kilt Hire shop will push the white kilt hose as they feel it goes with all tartans, and avoids an inventory of many colours. Many of the "traditionalists" feel kilt hose should be any colour other than white and that the kilt hose does not have to match anything else in the kit. A group of members feel that wearing white kilt hose is too much a symbol of the kilt hire trade, and therefore lessens the quality of the outfit.
Many tolerate white hose that are a part of the uniform of a pipe band, They are even more tolerable if worn with a coloured hose topper.

I hope I have posted this as neutral as I can on the subjects.

This is a nice addition to my website devoted to tackyness.

Just go there : www.ketaineries.com

And go to the "vetements (clothing)" and take a look on page 2.

I hope you can read (and understand) french. Many elements related to kilts are listed.

I'd say that's a rather avant garde if not nigh risqué look you have going for you there, Grant.

Why not use a *real* chicken? Wait, wait, wait... I mean, 'Good on you!' ;)
