Yup, but I'd forgotten how much work it is to play the pipes at 7000 feet elevation!
I have three kilts with me, including one for Standard (a Black Watch regimental weight kilt).
Love the "Scotland Rugby" shirt too!
I actually had my "Airborne Pipes - Piobaireachd from Above" t-shirt underneath, but it was too gaudy for an interview.
I just saw a "James T Kirk" tartan you might be interested in for a future kilt
There's actually a lunar tartan...!

From STA site:
"..designed in 1970 by Ian Maxwell, a director of Eskvalley Knitwear of Langholm in the Scottish Borders. The black, brown and grey were from the lunar rock brought back to earth by the Apollo missions and the red was for the rocket flame.
The tartan was extremely poplar at the time and was sold in Harrods, Scotch House etc and Ian Maxwell relates (2009) that many hundreds of kilts and ties were made in it. Eskvalley originally produced three mohair stoles in it, one of which was presented to Neil Armstrong’s wife."
