As a point of reference, would you all have a problem with someone wearing a top-of-the-knee length tunic, hose and a tartan cloak of some sort, all in place of what ever kind of kilt this is? Lein and brat, perhaps.

Just wondering; no desire to debate Highland attire.

A lot of people, myself included, feel attached to the kilt, and strive very hard to make it acceptable in the general community. We seek to educate the public in many of our societies. When we see others making the kilt look foolish, we believe we ought to speak up and educate.

In this particular instance, though, it's not that he's making the kilt look "foolish". To the average non-kilted person, he probably looks like what they'd expect a kilted reenactor to look like. They don't know that a PC doesn't go with a two-handed claymore.

His outfit is only disastrous to those who know and care about historical correctness.

At least he's not wearing white hose!

Man you guys are harsh!


I think he looks just fine. He is having fun.

At least he is not wearing a boring old Tshirt and jeans!

This is all beside the point. This shouldn't be in the "Historic Attire" forum in the first place...!

I sometimes wonder if people drive with the same attention that they post on this site...

Judging from my observations since 08:00 this morning: yes.

Perhaps it does go here in the sense of "this is trying to be passed off as historic."

As an example of "Don't do this!" you might be right...!

Raise the belt and lose the pistol and the jacket and it wouldn't be such a bad outfit.
