| | | Apparently, the right way to wear a kilt....
I was at a clothing store in Kenosha, Wisconsin today. Up on a shelf they have a mannequin wearing a kilt. At first glance I thought it looked wrinkled. But upon further inspection, I realized they had put the kilt on it almost entirely backwards. When I pointed it out to her, (Just thought they should know.) she said that's how she got it in England, so it had to be right. Apparently the kilt I was wearing wasn't enough to convince her...  |

You just can't sway some people.

Did she (they) get the kilt already on the mannequin or is she the dummy?

Robert "the kilted" Lamb | Well it came like that on the mannequin, but it's rentable. It comes with a black dress shirt, jacket, tie, a tam, and a fly plaid. I don't see how hard it would be to just I dunno... turn the kilt?  |

Next time you go in the mannequin will be facing the wall, mark my words.

Is it worth pointing out that as the English dont wear kilts (as a general comment!) why would the fact that it came from England make it right?
Nope, probably not.
