I never really got the whole Kilt Kop thing, but I can't imagine coming up to a stranger at the entrance to an event and saying something like that. When out and about kilted, I usually have better...

From what I remember, you can import it if it is lung free. I believe that even if made locally, it can't be sold if there are lungs in it.

I had given some thought to the road trip, but decided Clinton was a bit far for a trip to the pub. I see I didn't miss anything.

An interesting look. Years ago, my mother made a needlepoint waistcoat for my brother, and it was in tartan. If I remember correctly, it was a kit from a local store, but she laid out the tartan...

Merry Christmas!

This is a great project. I have often wondered why at the various church services I have attended that feature pipes there is very little liturgical music being played. This included my wedding,...

Reminds me of s quiz I have seen a few versions of to see if you can read through some ridiculous questions. One of the questions was "Is there a 4th of July in England"?. This of course played on...

Me too. I have even gone back and watched some of their older non musical videos.

You meant the white hose, not the pipes, right?

not surprised. Although I saw on the news that a defiant few held a Saint Patrick's day parade last night.

Wow, it was a great event, glad that I finally made it. My wife who never accompanies me to Tartan Day and somewhat surprised me by suggesting this side trip from DC, said it was fun and she enjoyed...

My wife and I will be there this year, coming down from Connecticut.

This was dumb luck, we planned a trip to DC for her birthday and found out the walk was the next day.

My idea of fun:

A Saucerful of Secrets - Pink Floyd


What else would I expect of such a journey?

I have worn mine in and out of NYC too many times to count, I have never had an issue. I have even gone through NYPD checkpoints that are set up randomly at subway stations. From my personal...

Baring accidents I will see you there.

Not that Ren Faires are bastions of historical accuracy but I think they are partially to blame. I see schedules every year that feature some variation of a time travelers weekend where folks dress...

Eclipse - Pink Floyd

What did they eat?

I am not usually a fan of modern kilts, however if the 5.11 one came in the color I wear for uniform pants I would probably buy one just for fun. As my uniforms are 5.11 anyway.

Since I usually click on new posts, the forums always look active to me. That being said I know that many online forums I participated in have gone away or are suffering.


I am not a social...

I am a little confused by the initial question. Is this asking about

A) Scots who are patriotic towards Scotland ?
B) Americans of Scottish decent patriotic towards the United States ?
C)...

Interesting thread.

When I first started getting into highland dress in my late teens I was given much misinformation. I bought a plain glengarry when I joined a color guard because I needed a...

This is not the first time I have seem this discussion on XMTS, which is sad. I have seen at least 2 members leave due to their threads being derailed and then complaints being made against the...

To my eye, the best feature (at least kilt related) to these uniforms is the cut of the bottom, with the grey part a little higher. I sort of mimics the cut of a jacket for a sporran.

As an aside...

I used to have a red Class A tunic from the original series that I wore occasionally with my kilt. It has not fit in years and I am not sure what I did with it.

I always thought that the maroon...
