It's clear to me that this gent is wearing a halloween costume, not a kilt outfit. lok at the quality of the sporran. i don't think you could find such a thing at a serious vendor.

Yes, i finally got through all 68 pages of this thread. he's been featured several times, and all are pointing out what's wrong. no one, however, has mentioned that the obvious answer must be that this is a ~$20-$30 halloween kilt costume. look at the shiny acetate shirt, the plastic scraggly sporran, the plastic spats, etc.

it sure has been instructive for a newbie, however, to see the wealth of advice and experience collected in this one place, not to mention the camaraderie and humor. looking forward to more.

Is that a torc around the mannequin's neck? I can't decide if it is a bracelet or neck-bolts.

It's part of the stand, it fits around the neck to hold the doll up. Most of the time they are hidden by the clothes. My sister collects antique dolls and she uses these type stands for display.
