Kilt glasses, kilt watches, kilt pens, kilt cars

Given that my son had three febrile seizures this weekend, It's a wonder I can spell my own name this morning.

Oh dear! I hope he is okay now.

...and is it mightier than the sword?

Given that it is also a Mont Blanc, yes.

Both my daughter and grand-daughter had the same thing happen. My daughter's was in the middle of the night and my grand-daughter's was on a plane between Des Moines and Denver My daughter ended up on phenabarbatol (sp) for three years after that.

Much as I like them, the Land Rover is a disaster waiting to happen as far as kilts are concerned. The combination of the door latch position and the seating arrangement could not be better designed to wreck a kilt-----or even two!

I am always careful to make sure I don't snag the kilt on the seatbox or the door lock striking plate.

The two unsung, oft ignored and highly traditional pieces of kit that are also interchangeable with other styles of dress are cuff links and collar stays(stiffeners).Button down collars? Pah!

When suits were de rigueur for my daily wear, cuff links and collar stays were always in the mix.

I like the major accessory in this picture, who is interested in the phone?

Wrong time period!? ... now I'm confused, I thought traditional was older than 20 years, or something equally un-clear... it was being discussed elswhere, and I stopped following as I get confused easily.

Anyway,

how about this: (only a wee 390 cu/ 6.4L V8)



Cheers,

edit:

I know it's somewhat off-topic. But the pic is from my brother's wedding- although what is strange is that the only one kilted was the priest!

Well, if we can say that then a 60's/70's muscle car would be period correct!

Only with the Scotland license plate!

I do think some people are confusing "traditional" with "historic" here. There is no "period correct", just correct. The question is what is acceptable amongst traditionalists and auld crabbits today, not a question of what people used to wear/carry/drive.

I don't think most people would bat an eye at a smart phone being pulled from a sporran; though they might if that phone had a neon pink case decorated with cartoon characters.

I think the goal with most of these accessories would be to be understated and elegant. So quality leather, horn, well-finished woods, and colours that are commonly found in tartans are probably all good choices.

Maybe something like this?




That's my take on it.

Now that's just over the top, and you know it!

If it was in Harris Tweed on the other hand... I believe that would make it quite acceptable!

Yes indeed. That last post shifted in and out of sarcastic a bit and was probably confusing because of it. I was serious about being understated and elegant, not so much about plaid cars!

A tweed car... hmm. I think it would need to have leather patches on the bumpers to decrease wear, then you'd have a winner!

The leather patches are to cover up the worn spots. Just ask Jock. Jock knows.
I read somewhere online that a Russian yacht builder used the 'arris tweed to upholster the furniture on his yacht. Now that would be some smooth sailing!
