McPot calling McKettle black

[M. A. C. Newsome]

I think the tartan trousers look much better than the pinstriped kilt, myself. I'm not a big fan of the tartan, but it is the one designed special for the movie, so there is an obvious reason for him wearing it.

My only issue with the tartan "trews" if that's what he insists on calling them is the way they are cut. I think they would look find if they were cut with a more tailored, narrow leg looks versus the baggy design that his seem to be. I agree I'm not a big fan of the tartan, but if it was done special for the movie can't object.

I just can't think of anything good to say about either "outfit".

I'm with Lime on this one.

Honestly, I think proper tailoring of the trousers would reduce my dislike for the tartan. The poor fit due to them being overly long cause bunching which hurts the sett, I think. It is a bit checkerboard in look, though. On the other hand, switch the swash-bucker shirt for something more reasonable and perhaps a nice waistcoat, and I don't have a problem with the pinstripe kilt. For Highland dress (considering it's a Scottish Week show), it's a very poor showing, but, as a general kilt/MUG, I like it. It would work nicely for Goth or Steampunk styles.

I like the trews. I think I'd have them tailored, then wear 'em golfing. As for the pinstripe kilt: I'll pass.

Properly "cut" trews on the right body shape can be very elegant indeed. I think that those of you that think of tartan kilts were worn throughout Scotland, need to remember that the kilt was, until very recently, Highland attire and tartan trews are very much traditional lowland Scots attire, and very smart they are, if tailored properly-----------unlike those abominations that Mr Salmond is wearing. What a shame.

With the insect problem that we suffer in the Highlands at this time of year, many of us keep a pair of tartan trews in reserve in "our" tartan, for smart and even moderately formal events and no one would even raise an eye-brow, or, think that would be unusual.

[MacSpadger]

Quite right Jock. Trews have also been part of the uniform for many of our Scottish regiments for over a hundred years also. They can look very smart indeed.

That's not the tartan designed for Brave; it's a much simpler set. Looks more like the Perthshire Tourist Board tartan to me. Peter (figheadair) designed it, maybe he can chime in.

Oops! Looking at it again, I see you are right, it is not the Brave tartan. Mea culpa!
