Kilt wearer from Dallas area
Good day all,
I have been delving into my Scottish roots as it were. My paternal grandmother was a Whyte and I have been working with Clan Lamont on learning about this history.
Since my wife has a masters in history we are regulars at several Ren fairs. Also since she has a masters she is a bit of a stickler for details. So when in garb I have three main choices – tights, trews, or a kilt. Not a tough choice there. She does relax enough that the kilt as know now isn’t the same as back than, that it would be very unlikely for a Scottish ambassador to have worn his kilt and that the sgain dubn and dirk were later than Henry’s time.
I have three kilts right now, two of unknown plaid and one of the Navy tartan that I wear to formal occasions such as the Navy Ball.
I am also very much into cooking and knife making and have stared trying to use my knowledge in fixed blade, full tangs into stick and mortise so I can work on period and dress pieces.
Jim
