kilts discussed on another forum

**Joseph McLaren** · 14th May 09, 09:27 AM

I stumbled across this on another forum while doing some internet fossicking for kilt-related stuff. The site in question, Ask Andy About Clothes, is a very well respected forum concerning all aspects of traditional menswear, but this thread about kilts amused me no end. There's quite a combative atmosphere to the back and forth, and the zero tolerance for Utilikilts, Tartans other than one's own family's, and Kilts worn anywhere outside Scotland reminded me of why I like XMTS so much!

If you thought the Kilt Police were a myth~ they're right here:

Only read a post or two, found i wasn't interested in reading what the drunk(drinking person) had to say about kilts or the Scot people in general.
Just my opinion.

Folks,

FYI: that thread is 2 years old.

Maybe we really do need an undead smiley?

Cheers

"... I can remember one wierdo who attended the same church I did in the Hollywood/Los Feliz area who would wear a kilt and stockings with Skean Dhu stuck in them. If he had worn full Highland regalia it would not have been quite so bizarre, but he would mate this apparel with an ordinary button-down shirt and necktie. I always thought it was much as though I wanted to stress the Dutch side of my pedigree by mating an ordinary blazer and tie with those baggy Dutch breeches and wooden shoes!"

Oh no!

I've seen that forum before, but I'm not a member. XMTS is actually the only forum to which I belong... :ootd:

That's an interesting forum, I submit those fellows spend more time worrying about their clothing than we do! Whenever you think we are spending too much time on hose and hats, please think of their "Ode to Tassel Loafers" thread! Over 280 posts about tassel loafers, most with photos.
