That looks awesome, and you're right, Korpiklanni is a great band! "Happy Little Boozer" is one of my favorite songs! int:

And you WANT an excuse not to slow dance, with your arms around some babe and holding her tight against you while you move slowly against one another, and....

Of course Mum & Dad might be just as happy if you DIDN'T do that....

Its amazing what we will do----even dance------when the right girl, well perhaps not the right girl, but a pretty girl, comes along!

Well the length looks about perfect. You seem to have a firm grasp of the casual look.

I suspect you might switch out the Doc Martens for some Vanns and go skateboarding.

Back in the Doc Martens a relatively simple pullover sweater made of thick yarn and knit on big needles might could get you in and out of church without raising any eyebrows. Probably not off-white or ecru, but something like relatively pale like salt grass or oatmeal I suspect. Judging by the lawn and the kilt I imagine the white balance in the .jpg I am seeing is about right. For slightly dressed up I would stick with the black T shirt, for the sweater not black or any other color found in a box of eight crayola crayons.

For the slightly dressed up look in the sweater you might switch to a necklace with a seashell or a bit of antler on it.

I suspect you will be more comfortable in a daywear sporran of black rather than brown leather.

I am thinking with a black leather sporran, the kilt, the Doc Martens and a bit of nature around your neck + a sweater like this one, girls are going to come talk to you.

Alternatively, look on here for a color you feel good about. I am not suggesting you drop $200 on a sweater. The one I linked you above is a marled look, where the yarn itself is more than one color. These are some more options to get a feel for what you _might_ wear before you go to Value Village or etcetera to find something similar.

For hot weather, consider a textured Tshirt, just a regular Tshirt but with like waffle or vertical stripe knit into it, so it is really a solid color but the light plays on the surface a little bit. Again, any color not in the 8 box from Crayola.



The next trick is what to say when a girl comes up to you and starts talking. I have been working on that problem for 43 years; my only advice is that is a good problem to have.

I haven't heard that particilar song but I'll look it up. I like Wooden Pints and Vokda, considering those are the only songs I could find. Also, I think the outfit looks pretty sweet too. Kudos to my dad for giving me the idea!

Hey, if you can't make yourself laugh and have just a little fun every day, you ain't living.

I love it!

[Nighthawk]

Very nice!! I've been known to pair my own kilt with an Iron Maiden t shirt from time to time. Korpiklaani is good- I've never heard of them before this thread. Thanks for introducing me to them!

I showed this picture to my wife... She said "Oh my god! His legs are even pastier than yours!!"

[Cowher]

I don't love the skull sporran but all in all ya look good. Gods on fire- is my favorite Korpiklaani tune. I discovered them for myself about a year ago. Makes me feel like drinking with a bunch of Vikings

[TheSp8]

As soon as I saw the deer skull I thought of The Hunting Song by Korpiklaani. I also really like Bring us Pints of Beer. My son introduced us to Korpiklaani a couple of years ago. I tell people I'm listening to Finnish Folk Metal and that really confuses them. Looking good there CGR.

YMOS,
