Ok, so they're not MY photos, but...

Good point about cost. The fella in the first pic is probably wearing $1000 in highland attire. That's a lot of money. How long does it take to save up that kind of dough? At $20 a week just a bit less than a year. Three bucks a day. How much is that? The cost of a beer down at your local pub or most of pack of cigarettes?

Here's how I covered the cost of buying everything at once.

I shopped around until I found a credit card that gave me air miles as well as a decent interest rate. I used that card to buy all of my kilts, etc., and then put it away never to be used again. (Well, until the next time, that is.) Every two weeks I went on line and paid $50 to the credit card company, and in way less than a year I had three things:

All my day wear stuff, a good cedit rating, and a ton of air miles. I now use the card exclulsively for filling up the car, and zero the balance when I get the bill at the end of the month. The air miles are picking up the tickets to Scotland this summer.

Well done, man!

I agree with the simplicity.

This isn't my photo either, but its one of my favorites for kilt simplicity.


Sweater, vest in lieu of sporran, and maybe no belt but hard to tell for sure.

And, hey, where can I get one of those crooks...look neat with the kilt but I don't think it'll be very functional with cattle.

That is a great look. Do any of you know what tartan this is?

[McMurdo]

Ron you could try here

I have removed a post from this thread that was very insulting to some of the membership of our forum. I would remind everyone that simple courtsey toward all is expected. We may disagree, but we should always remain the ladies and gentlemen of X Marks the Scot.

I think some people misunderstood me. Please don't confuse "simplicity" with "expensive". One person can look really great in a Stillwater, and another look really bad in a tank. It's all how you wear it. And in my opinion, simplicity helps...a lot. Even in boots, scrunched down hose, kilt, and rugby shirt you can look really good. In fact, this is how I wear my kilt most of the time.

I hope that clarifies things a bit.

The tartan is Buchanan.

Taking my own advice, I tried to be subtle today going to church. Here are the results.



What do you think? Any suggestions for improvement?

[Larry124]

Looks very good to me.

Tie to church?
Maybe a pewter buckle or roller buckle rather than chrome?

Take care of your shoes in that snow – avoid salt slush.
