the tartan is weathered Mackenzie, and the thing around my shoulders is a day plaid


what do you all think?

Oh yeah I recall you posting over a year ago about you and your kilt thing.

Looking sharp.

thank ya buddy

Lol...but really it doesn't look bad at all.

I'm going to go ahead and address the elephant in the room and ask are you wearing underwear beneath that? :confused:

im going to respond with, socks and boots now move along.

Well crazy kilt guy you certainly live up to your name, I applaud you. :clap:

That's certainly more manly than the last skirt you had.

Looks good, bro.

this :rofl:

If I had the money to buy cloths like that I would O.O

I've always liked the kilt look

If you plan on it for formal wear:
Loose the hat; flatcaps are traditionally workwear (and if you don't respect tradition, why are you wearing a kilt?). Loose the day plaid, or get it in a different colour (possibly navy). If the day paid is not formal attire ( I don't know), then get rid of it, wear a navy blazer, a dress shirt, and a tie (plaid is pretty bold, so avoid patterns on the shirt, but a simple one on the tie would be fine). Loose the boots, get a nice pair of leather oxfords (black?).

If you plan on it for casual wear:
I wouldn't wear it casually- it's like wearing a suit casually, but if you insist... Loose the hat (or keep it; wear it only when the weather demands and doff it when you go inside/ take off your coat). Loose the boots, get a nice pair of leather oxfords (black, burgundy?), or leather boots (I'd avoid big army boots; maybe some ankle boots, or something more dressy; I've also avoid suede). Wear a plain coloured collared shirt. I don't really like a matchy-matchy with the day plaid and kilt so much, but it could work if you have a nice shirt.

To be honest, you look a bit like you're in costume, but your confident appearance makes up for it. Main issue is that it seems to be trying to mix casual (the colour) with formal (it's a kilt, matching bottom and upper).

tl;dr: Rock it with some better footwear, minus the hat, and a confident posture, and you can do anything (though I'd really recommend only wearing it when the occasion arises).

I was wondering when that-dude-with-the-kilt would return...

The colors look great on you. The thing around your neck looks a little too long, but then again I don't know much about proper kilt-wearing. I'd recommend getting some other boots.

Nothing like a skirt to bring out the brimming manliness, noo all ya'h need is'a bagpipe laddie.

Can I put my hand under your Sporran?

Is this how the kids do it these days?

It was actually a Monty Python reference so I guess it's how the kids did it back in the late 60's

Coming from someone who doesn't know the slightest thing about kilts, I really like it. The day plaid too, though I would personally take one in a different colour from the kilt I think. Don't like the hat at all though, and the shoes seem out of place. You still need to grow your hair, and get a beard to match the awesomeness of the kilt.

Hey, my Scottish mates told me they don't actually wear kilts as casual wear in Scotland.

Are you off to slay a dragon, bard?

The thing around your shoulders makes it look OTT. Aside from that looks fine.

Anyone in a kilt gets a thumbs up from me - reminds me of my Dad

Looks good, glad you ditched the granny blanket.

I freakin love it. A lot. :wub:

Nice, are you part of Mackenzie clan? The plaid is overkill IMHO and you should invest in some polished black boots, other than that, fnatastic


Thats how its done

Yeah, I was gonna ask is that your clan tartan?

Anyways, thanks for reminding me that the North Florida Highland Games should be coming up soon.
I'm clan Douglass, and clan Stuart.

Im Keith clan.
