That said, a regular hip and leg harness is always the safest thing.

That is nice to hear.

Can you believe how long this thread has been going?

EDIT: the strap hanging down is a stabilizing strap for the aforementioned absent leg loops....I still stand by that pic as being a kilt dont and climbing dont.

I dont think the leg hoops are absent, it looks like a propper harness, but there is that much fabric in the kilt that most of it hangs free and obscures the harness.
I'm not sure if its a kilt do or kilt dont, but it is a climbing do!

The Summer Savoyards, "a nonprofit community theater company in Binghamton, New York" that specialises in Gilbert and Sullivan productions, apparently rents out, during the summer, costumes from their collection of costumes for Gilbert and Sullivan productions.

Being a person with a tendency to woolgathering, I of course looked at the costumes they provide for productions of my favourite play, The Pirates of Penzance.

Imagine the shock that befell me when I looked at the costume for Major General Stanely:

They ought to be ashamed of themselves! I'd write a very angry, yet civil, letter explaining to them the, for lack of a better word, deficiencies of this costume, but I'm currently struggling with derivatives and integrals of inverse trigonometric functions*.

*For those wondering:
