What's Modern Kilt Wear> ...or...what's this subforum really about?

Knotty: definitely not. Yet if you post it in a section of XMTS that it doesn't belong in some will bring it to your attention.

You can wear your kilt with out anything else on or you can dress as a kilted clown. Or you can dress like a Jacobite or however you like. There are subforums that catch all. Have fun!

in my 8 years of kilt wearing the main things for modern I find to be are when its more ..... dressed down. t-shirt untucked hose slid down to the boot top. soo i guess modern to me would be casual vs formal and semi formal. Matirial of kilt ..... depending on yardage may also factor into it. Ultimatly as a wise auld coot once told me. It's up to you to figure your oun differance between the two. Trust yourself.

One of the problems with traditionalists' comments is that some of us have heard them over and over in other sub forums. It does not matter a whit how much the poster sugarcoats it here, if you've repeatedly made negative comments about modern kilt styles "they're not kilts", modes or wear, or materials in other subs we know what you "really mean" because you've already said it clearly. And it's galling to come "here" and hear it. If it's not your Traditional then go find it elsewhere. Just from the name of the sub you knew what was here and the context of the discussion. To "innocently" comment that such and such isn't traditional doesn't make much sense, and is no different than the person on the real world repeating negative comments, "no offense, just my opinion". At this point we know where you stand, just keep it to yourself, you're definately part of the problem.

To quote Jack: "Why can't we all just get along?" (Mars Attacks!)

Keeping with the interglaactic theme and to refer to an earlier post: I REALLY want to see a picture of the Martian Kilt, Roman brush helmet and all!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty please!

hmmm....
Late to the game. I used to come here often (not so much any more). I live in Colorado where formal means your cleanest jeans. I have a very long beard so my formal Saxon dress is a mandarin collar or a wingtip collar with a bolo tie. A bow tie would be silly. When I kilt up...same deal. So, even though I wear tartan, a traditional sporran, kilt pin etc... Modern or Modernist is how I identify. BTW, my "go to" kilt is a Celtic Croft Phillabeag... go figure

Ultimatly it's your own opinion of what is trad and what is modern. After reading all of the post that have come before this one that I am typing.....It's just sad how juvinile some of us sound. As though our opinions are hard fact. They are not. They are opinions and if you have a hard time understanding what an opinion is and cannot be polite about it or overly sensitive when someone disagrees with you than it is my opinion that your parents failed in your upbringing.
More to the point. Who else would agree that traditional and Victorian are usualy found hand in hand strolling about the streets? Well Victorian and before. Where as modern seems to be anywhere from slightly dressed down to 80's/90's punk or paddy rock. The Real MacKenzies would be a good source for what I'm attempting to get at. What do you all think? If I'm out there as far as my opinion on the subject is....oh well wouldn't be a first time and it won't be the last. I just don't admit it when my wife is around.
