Putting on a Plaid!
This is one man's method of putting on a great kilt. I found this interesting and entertaining and thought others might as well. I have heard this fellah is a bit of a showman and may tend to exaggeration. And this is but one man's opinion. But I though some might enjoy. I hope so. - Paul

Hi!
Not quite loading this way; can you please try another link method? I'm interested in your description of the video.

Thanks for posting; that's definitely one way to put on a plaid. I like the finished product in his video.

I have no idea if the fellow knows anything about a great Kilt, but for certain sure he has clearly no idea about the safe handling of firearms. I would not want to be within a country mile of that fellow!

We should never drop an edged weapon into the soil either. Ah well.

I have minimal experience with firearms and the moment I saw THAT moment, I thought -- this is how nasty things happen. Now, I realise that he's not holding a modern firearm but ... still! Then! THEN! He dropped his blade into the dirt. UGH! (As Fr Bill mentions.)

Amen! If you haven't damaged the tip, you've at least scratched the blade and "soiled" it's appearance as well as diminished it's value.

As far as authenticity goes, Weathered/Reproduction tartans weren't introduced until 1949, so that's off by a couple hundred years.
That and the leather upper garments are two anachronisms seen in this video and in Outlander.

The costume of Outlander is very interesting -- on both sides of the Atlantic. I heard an interview with Terry Dresbach, the costume designer for seasons 1-4 of the show, and I appreciated her explanation of trying to balance historical accuracy with entertainment. A difficult task -- I would be the guy pumping his fist the air supporting historical accuracy.
