    Kilt Pin Irony?

    I've had this little silver and enamel fellow for close to 19 years. I found him at the gift shop of the Contemporary Art Center. Alas, I separated him from his female companion (I wonder where she is today). Since then, he's lived most of that time on lapels of my winter coats, but I'm sort of thinking about relocating him to a kilt.



    He's obviously wearing an unbifurcated suit, but he'd be relegated to something very obviously not a suit. Would anyone get the joke?

    Oh, I know! If I ever get a TFCK kilt suit, he'd definitely be moving!

    Regards,
    Rex.

    I think that one is just wonderful and you're right it would be perfect on a TFCK Kilt Suit.

    The second I saw the picture (and before I saw you had had the same thought) I was thinking the same thing. He would be perfect on a TFCK pinstripe kilt suit! But the only bad thing would be that you would be removing the very, very cool TFCK lightning bolt kilt pin (which alas can only be had with the purchase of a TFCK!)

    I love highland attire, I love modern kilts. But you will never see me decrying pants because if you like Bogey, you know just how incredibly sharp a suit can be!

    Usually when my suit trousers start to shine like that it's time for new duds. I like the pin, regardless.

    As a rule, yes. But a close friend (and X-Marks member), wearing a leather R-kilt and very smart contemporary ensemble, so impressed Howie Nicholsby at the Stone Mountain Games last year that he endowed my friend with one of those exclusive pins. Quite the coup!

    I love the pin!!! I'll bet that lass misses Mr. Suit to this day! It would most assuredly look quite classy on the TFCK!

    Um, do you chaps over there normally have the outside breast pocket on the right of your jackets?
