bad kilts

I saw the guy in the tartan sarong again yesterday, but wasn't able to get a pic. He went by too fast, but here are a couple of more:

The "kilt?" in the first pic was pleated all around, and looked more like he was wearing his sister's pleated skirt. Although the shoes appear pink in the photo, I think it is a lighting effect. I took the photo from the waist as we walked by and because his back was to the sun I had to enhance the pic, so the kilt? would show up. The second photo is a kilt, but the clothing combination is horrible. Note the Blackwatch tartan with the orange sport jacket and sandles. I think that the rivets showing on the side are a sporran of sorts. Mods, if you feel these pics are innappropiate, please delete them with no hard feelings from me. I did edit them so no faces are shown.

Dude, the second picture is a guy wearing a Black Utilikilt Workman. I really don't think there is anything wrong with in wearing that with the orange coat and sandals.

The second pic is deff. a black UK Worman's. Outfit looks fine if you like orange, I guess.

I'd bet that in the first picture, the guy had the kilt on backwards (I've seen it before -- not a good phenomenon). This is photographic evidence that there are guys out there who need our guidance. (Although the last time I tried to tell a guy he had his kilt on backwards, he insisted, "No, you can wear it both ways.")

The second one shows the hazards of the kilt in thick canvas. It rumples easily, and stays rumpled. The second one I'm more inclined to forgive, since the Workman's is marketed as a working man's garment.

Halloween is coming so the second outfit is absolutely acceptable.

And it's for this reason that I'm starting to like my workman's less and less.

I looked as he passed, it was pleated all around, no aprons at all.

As to the second, I stand corrected. I took it thru a digital slr with a zoom lens. In the light and at the distance I was at, it looked like a Blackwatch tartan. I still don't like the color combo though. The only good thing I can say about his sense of taste, is his choice in beer. Looks like a Guinness or a "Black and Tan."

Of course, he's right, you know. I can drive my car both ways in the right hand lane. I can smuggle drug across the border. I can shoot heroin and do a HALO drop before my ninetieth birthday. But then I try to exercise a bit more wisdom than that most of the time.
