Kilts for Halloween?

My wife wants me to wear mine when we take the kids trick or treating, ironically, her grandma is open to the family christmas.

Garlic? Defending against vampires?

Yes, but it's elephant garlic... So I guess it's to keep the elephant vampires away from my elephant food plants.

On the other hand, they would keep those vampire bugs out of the vegetable gardens too... I don't plan on planting the garlic while wearing a kilt either way.

For some time now, I have been a member of this fine group and I have enjoyed reading the many threads. Sure, I am in the shadows, watching and listening. But when I read this thread, I had to put in me 2 cents.
Yes, I am kilted and proud of it.
As far as wearing a kilt on halloween, go for it. Where I work, men can only wear business causal (dockers and dress shirt). As for women, they get away with everything.
Last year, I wore my Utilikilt and got a free lunch. And the ladies loved it.

This year, I plan on wearing my McDonald Sportkilt with all that goes with it.

Thanks,

Well said and

Well, this year my costume is a large magnet with baby chickens on the ends. Yep, "chick magnet". So since the clothes don't matter to the costume I'll be kilted.

This E-Bay'er feels it is acceptable.

May be a good bargain (and in time for Halloween) for someone much smaller than me!

I ended up planting the garlic yesterday... so I won't be planting it for Halloween.

I'll have to plant something else for Halloween. Probably some vegetable of some sort... Probably broccoli.

And I won't be wearing a kilt either!!

I personally don't like it to see people go guising in your fake wal-mart kilts. They don't understand that some people dress like that on a daily basis, and this is our culture, we like it, dinna make it satirical. X(

Yes this year I WILL be wearing one of my kilts to work as a "Costume". As this is a way around my boss's absolute proscription on my kilts! As it stands at work several of my friends have already asked " you ARE going to wear a kilt, aren't you"? The answer was a resounding YES

The first time I wore a kilt was as a costume for Halloween 2001, as "Braveheart." My neighbor was a costumer and made the Kilt for her teen son to wear to RenFair.

If I had not felt so comfortable that weekend, I would not have gone on to buy 5 kilts. Halloween got me into Kilts (literally and figuratively).

Another year, the same Neighbor's son wore his Kilt and a Darth Vader mask for Halloween. "Darth Wallace." (ouch)

Last year I went to a party as a demon with horns, and a tail protruding from below my Kilt. Sure I could have used pants, but the effect with a kilt was much better.

So if the kilt works with a costume - go for it.

For me, Halloween is also a celebration of 7 years of kilted living.
