Why, it's the "Scottish Man" costume! Doesn't it look Scottish to you?!

No; I believe the principle of "if it's nae Scottish, it's CRRRRRRRAP!" works in reverse as well (i.e. "if it's crrrrrrrrap, it's NAE SCOTTISH!").

I note that it costs $250... For that, you could have a quality real kilt.

I particularly like the argyle socks.

I saw something like that on clearance via an on line store called "scotsman in a box'. I think it even came with a mock-beer. It was the most horrendous thing. No wonder they were having to put it on clearance.
What was the creator of this abomination thinking and more important what was the business thinking in ordering any of them?
Well you won't find this muck in our shop and I would be hard pressed not to toss a bloke out if he had the gumption to walk into our coffeehouse in such a monstrosity.

All my traditional kilts each have their own kilt pin attached, but I do not wear a kilt pin with some of my modern non tartan kilts.

I always wear a kilt pin with my trad kilts, but never with my moderns.
Speaking of kilt pins, I had recently commissioned a Bee pin/brooch thingy from a fantastic artist up in Seattle. He's made primarily from old watch parts. I love the little guy, but he's just a tad to heavy to wear on a shirt or vest. I think I know what to use as a kilt pin in Reno!
Here's a piccie.
