"Authentic woven tartan" worn "authentically"!

But I suppose you could say it is pleated to the idiot.

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

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.

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.

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!

Faced with a kilt, never having seen one worn properly, I can completely understand wanting to put the pleats at the front. Ease of walking, less chance of frontal exposure, and "it makes sense to sit on the flat part" come immediately to mind.

His claim to have worn this once at a wedding, coupled with the photo, are what make this listing priceless. . .

If you read the questions at the bottom of the listing somebody asked if it was pleated all the way around. He said no, just pleated in the back and flat in the front. So, I think he does now how he is actually supposed to wear it. Why he posed with the pleats in front is beyond me though...

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

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

A few reasons why he may have done this:
1. He thought he'd do it as a joke
2. He genuinely thought it was to be worn with the pleats to the front until someone messaged him and informed him otherwise.
3. Maybe so that people feel sorry for him and bid a bit more
4. It's simply a "backwards kilt"!
5. His arms are on back-to-front


Maybe someone should message him for the real reason?!
Oh - and the pleats looks pretty messy - I'd really be put off wearing it to a wedding!
