Petrolheads (had a look at your blog) and steampunk, close cousins if ever I saw them!

Do you ever steampunk it? What do you make of the kilt in the OP?

My wife and I are both big fans of the steam punk aesthetic.

I think we had that Steampunk/gear/kilt vendor at the last Science Fiction convention here in MN. VERY popular booth.
Kilts and Corsets are a big thing in the Steampunk groups here.
I like the idea of re-inventing technology in simpler terms. I have been picking up broken wind-up clocks and such for fellow Steampunk friends for making jewelry and such. Even found a bunch of old radio tubes for them to make things with. FUN STUFF!

I'm struggling to find UK vendors for steampunk. So, if ever I find the money for THAT kilt, it looks like I'll have to buy from overseas at present, unless I make one myself!

Mind, I'm inspired to transform a jacket I have with some bits of leather and metal junk from around the house and in my garage. How about a steampunk sgian or a steampunk belt for my kilt?!

I think a kilt would be a perfect part of a good steam punk persona. Just don't forget your goggles!

Well, I don't know about his Halloween plans really, he hasn't made many it seems, but I do know it won't be kilted. 1 kilted would be expensive, and he associates kilts with people in my past, people he doesn't want to be compared to.

Stratherrick,
The basic Kilt from 21st Century kilts (Scotland), for around 325 pounds, then design your own steampunk. I work in a hardware store, the clips, fasteners, brackets, and I use a pulley for my sporran closure. My kilt is a homemade in black denim fabric from the closeout bin.

I had NEVER heard of Steampunk up to this moment but it's certainly interesting!

As is the Steampunk kilt!

I wonder if being an active member of my local steam railway makes me one?
