Close, but cowboy boots are needed!!

Women can pull off the look of cowboy boots without p@nts, but it never looks right on men. Now you might improve upon the look with this sporran:

Hopefully that worked right.

I was on a pipe band trip to the US circa 1978 and when visiting Virginia Highland Games, which I seem to recollect was held in Alexandria; there was a bloke there who claimed some sort of position in a Scottish clan whilst at the same time being the chief (or something like that) of a native Indian clan/tribe.

I can still picture him wearing the kilt, sporran etc. but for headdress he was wearing a native Indian get up/warbonnet with loads and loads of of feathers. Looked quite bizarre.

Had to do a quick adjustment of understanding when I read this - In the UK 'pants' means underwear!!!

You mght be thinking of Waldo E. McIntosh, Jr. His father immigrated to the US from ascotland and married a Creek princess. Not sure about his authority within Clan MacKitosh but is (or was) the hereditary chief of the Creek people.

Here's a thread with a photo.

Creek Chief Waldo Mackintosh was descended of an illegitimate son of William Mackintosh of Borlum. Waldo visited Scotland in full Creek garb but did not mix his heritages, at least in his dress, while he was in Scotland.

Yes, may have been him. It's long ago to remember faces, but whoever it was he was certainly wearing the kilt and an Indian headdress.

As an aside it was actually a good highland games/pipe band competition!
