Newsome Box Pleat in MacMedic Tartan

[Clockwork John]

I really like the kilt btw. And I think medical themed accessories would be spot on/awesome! As much as I think wearing black is the easy way out when trying to make a kilt ensemble(sp) I still wear black hose with a black shirt with my kilts and I think that option would look REALLY good with your kilt.

I agree. Black would be good. Green, as suggested by Matt, would work too. Blue might also look good.

Too much red does give it that candy cane look.

BTW, nice kilt, and kudos to you for going into a tough field!

Great looking kilt. Though, I believe I'm next. With any luck I should have mine in a few days.

Maybe for more formal occasions a lab coat would be in order. You could cut it short like a prince charlie jacket, so people would know you're wearing something underneath it

Great kilt! And in a tartan that really means something to you.

Unfortunately I had the MacPizzahut feeling when I saw it at first as well. While I understand the sandals for Arizona this might be a kilt that is better matched with some traditional accessories including hose etc. I think hose and flashes in the right colour paired a matching shirt (to the hose not the kilt) would de-emphasise the initial "tablecloth" look of the kilt.

Ether that, or pass by the local Pizza Hut and see if they will throw some cash your way to walk around in a Pizza Hut t-shirt

Great idea, Kilted Wonder!!

5. Number one accessory for this kilt -- a white lab coat!

A lab coat is way too long. I have a white consulting jacket that would make an interesting kilt length coat. I looked at it hanging at the office today and this just made me think about adjusting the length and adding some thistle buttons. I never wear one so it would probably just go back on hook.

The caduceus is associated with commerce, not medicien: Caduceus

Actually, I meant the caduceus. In America, at least, today, the caduceus is the symbol of medicine. It doesn't matter that once upon a time, it had to do with commerce; today, in this place, it means medicine. I was a Hospital Corpsman in the US Navy, and my rate mark was a caduceus. My father was a Registered Nurse, and had a caduceus engraved on his stethoscope. So it's a symbol which has deep personal meaning for me, and it's the one I'll use.

Like I said, I'm defiitely not an expert and you obviously know more about the topic. I was just putting forth some info. I found.

And that's all that matters.

Oh, and I agree with some of the others. Dressing more traditionally with the MacMedic kilt might take away from some of the "MacTableclothliness" of it.

What is a box pleat if you don't mind me asking? Is it a tartan without stripes or only two patterns? Sorry for asking in here, but I'm trying to learn the web-site as much as I'm trying to learn about kilts.
