Aloha Shirts and Solid Color Kilts, Blending Cultures

[Riverkilt]

So, before I was addicted to kilts I was addicted to Aloha shirts. Perfect for the hot weather here in the canyonlands.

Was stuck on how to combine the two, didn't wanna go back to pants, when I saw a pic of a guy kilted with his Aloha shirt worn open over a t-shirt. Thank you whoever you were!

Started playing with that look and it seems to fly. No one around here has run away screaming in terror or doubled over in laughter.

Have some pics of some looks I've tried and worn to work...one with an Aloha shirt that was designed to be tucked in....its worn with a UK Survival II without the cargo pockets. Think the others are with UK Mockers and Survival IIs.

Here's a link to that gallery. If it doesn't work for you, sorry...just can't figure out why some get it and others don't. If it doesn't work and you really wanna see it PM me your email and I'll send an invite.

Hmmm, my lady did kinda gag at the pic with the white kilt hose...

You should meet Seamus Kennedy. Caught him in an Aloha shirt and TARTON KILT at Estes Park last Sept. He told me he was from that Hawaiian clan headed up by Don McHo. Told his audiance the same thing and they all broke up laughing. His web site is www.mcnote.com/seamus/

Too true. And on stage in front of anywhere between 20-50 up to 6 times during the day and a few hundred at the Ceilidh. Probably had 5/10/20 thousand go thru the area over the weekend.

There's nothing wrong with wearing Aloha Shirts with Tartan. I do it on a regular basis. If you really want to get noticed wear Tie dyed shirts. :grin:

Dang, this ol' hippie has a LOT of tie die too! Visions of Wavey Gravy...

How about tartan kilt, tie die t-shirt with an Aloha shirt....that'll jolt some optic nerves!

Ron,

I think it's an outstanding look. My favorite was the Navy blue Mocker with the blue t-shirt and the blue and white aloha shirt - I'm partial to blue. That's the nice thing about Utilikilts - you can dress them up, down, or mix it up. They seem to go well with any look.

Mr. Macdonald is definitely in a league of his own. I’m certainly glad his (and Hamish’s) photo site is back on-line to give us guidance.
