Acceptable attire?

[ardchoille]

This is my normal daily attire (with different tartans of course):



I was wearing this today when someone walks up to me and informed me that the Balmoral is not to be worn with this type of sporran. Now, I know there is no kilt police, but I do wish to appear in what is acceptable.

Advice anyone?

[McMurdo]

I do not see anything wrong with that outfit, of course I've been told that I can't wear my kilt without my Sgian Dubh, did they give a reason?

No, they gave no reason. And I thought it a bit funny that this "advice" came from a person who was clad in a t-shirt and jeans.

It always comes form those types. Don't you know the kilt police are undercover.

To be honest it looks good but ,

when ever I see someone with a hat thats not pipeing its always screams TOURIST, I was in a shop in edinburgh and an American (might have been Canadian I cant tell the differance) purchased a fantastic outfit PC, nice Kilt tasfully coloured socks etc looked fantastic , then proceeded to slap a Tam on his head. spoiled the effect (Archie the inventor??) but thats just my opinion I dont like hats unless Im pipeing.

They prob think your hat goes with a horsehair sporron, like no1 dress . If you wear a hat people will ask you about bagpipes. if you dont they will ask you about your underwear status, if you wear Trousers people will ignore you
cant win

but looks sharp

I've only felt that way about Glengarries. That, to me, screams "piper!" But Balmorals do not... unless maybe they had dicing.

Glengarries are really military/piper to me. Balmorals not so much.

Uh, oh! I have red and white diced Balmoral and Glengarry! Never wear them though. It's that old WWII Glengarry that I like!

Did you turn him over, that's the only way to find out the difference.

And, what do you look for?

On second thought, don't answer that.
