I love this idea so should we call you the Dude. or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino?

I know who Lazarus Long is, but am not sure I'd recognize him in a crowd! LOL

LOL... a leather kilt, engineer boots, t shirt or long sleeved shirt, leather vest/jacket... and you have a play on the Scottish Biker, thanks to our recent video/ thread..

Wouldn't work for me: I wear my colors while kilted anyway, so people would be asking "where's your costume?"... ;)

I nominate Panache and McMurdo to create the "One Kilt -- Twelve Halloween Costumes" thread!



OK, I'll play. . .

Kilted WWI soldier with gas mask and lots of mud, maybe a rat or two

And there's always "The Emperor's New Kilt" (think of that old photo of the fellows wearing only their sporrans. . . ) Well, maybe not!

Back to work now, Sydnie. . .

Here are my ideas for using your kilt as part of the costume:

1) Zombie
2) The Crow
3) Vampire Hunter (with a big wooden cross, a hammer and some stakes)
4) Punk Rocker
5) Axel Rose (he wore a leather kilt in the 90's)

I think the key to using the kilt in a costume is make your costume either historical or go as a "Scottish __________" (fill in the blank with whatever you want. But don't use the route of the mass-produced "Scotsman" costume.

Panache's Scottish butterfly collecter is a good example. Also good would be Scottish zombie, Scottish vampire hunter, etc. Or better yet, just be a zombie who happened to be wearing a kilt.

This way, the kilt is not the costume, but is merely a piece of clothing within the costume theme.

2) The Crow

Raphael,

I did that one one Halloween.

It was arguably the best /scariest costume I ever did

Cheers

PS: Why did you think I have a pair of leather pants?
