"Authentic woven tartan" worn "authentically"!

[bigdad1]

And just think it is for sale in Glasgow. You would think a Scot would know how to wear a kilt. If you look at the wrinkles in the t-shirt he has on it looks almost as though it had been pulled around to the front just to show off the pleats. But I suppose you could say it is pleated to the idiot.

That may become a favorite phrase of mine for such situations!

haha... I dunno - some people take influence from the select number of Gold Brothers shops who have the pleats to the front on their manikins outside! Or it may be the old "right - that's me got the kilt on"
someone else: "are the pleats not supposed to be at the front?"
"oh right..."

Sometimes people who think they know best are a bad influence!

I can assure you this does not happen in ANY of our shops. We've recently launched a staff training programme and - believe me - they know what they sell.

In the defense of the shops: perhaps they just wanted to show off the pleats instead of the apron. That is where the magic happens anyway.

However, on the other hand we have all seen it put on backwards/sideways or any other combination of ways. But atleast they put it on.

I was just thinking that. It makes me sad I'm not still in Glasgow to go give him some gentle instruction!

...it is pleated to the idiot.

Well said bigdad1,...well said.

[Ian.MacAllan]

. . . it is pleated to the idiot.

Priceless, bigdad1, absolutely priceless. That deserves to enter the Xmarks lexicon along with "tank".

For times that one must go in through the out door.

Or up the Down Staircase.

Now THAT is a man with balls......not only kilted, but bassackwards? Thats better than those rapper guys from the nineties..

Pleated to the idiot.

Pretty funny.

The kilt on backwards/pleats to the front has come up a zillion times on pictures here at XMTS. I just can't figure out why anybody would conclude that was the "right way", even if they were not familiar with wearing the kilt. I once piped at a wedding where half the groomsmen were about to go out like that and wanted to debate my polite suggestion. That and the sporran hanging near the knees. Oh well.
