great look Derek,... but,... by the way,... is that an expression of a welsh smile?

... and regarding the "cons",... here in europe they have been weared since they were created, not just for alternative or punk people,... all kinds of young people wears them, from poshies to ecologists,... and yes, I'm wearing my red ones now:mrgreen:

¡Salud!

Derek, great look in both, although I like the black shoes better with the first kilt, although I am not sure why. Just goes together better.

However, I am curious, what is the blue tartan? I am sure you have mentioned it before, but I am drawing a blank.

Think we can get a different pose next time? I'm growing to think you have an image that you re-work with paintshop or some other image editing program!

Dagnabbit! You stole my post! I was going to wait until I had read the whole thread, but you beat me to the punch!

I definately like the first kit. Second kit... eh... I'm personally not diggin' the yellow tartan at all. My motto is to each his own, so I'm far from knockin' it. I definately think you should swap to a brown sporran and belt with it, though.

to clarify....( make sure no one tried an 800-mile trek in these)

the aforementioned footwear metioned are NOT boots. They are extra-tall Converse All-Star Sneakers. They were very popular as a baskteball shoe until Nike and Reebok started making shoes specifically for basketball.

I have heard - usually in reference to sports shoes - the British use "boots" as a slang term for sneakers/trainers. You don't wear football cleats; you wear footie boots. I assume this is what Derek means when he refers to his Chuck Taylors as boots.

And as an aside, while I may not attempt an 800-mile trek in Chuck Taylors, the famous Grandma Gatewood, a 75 year-old woman, thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail (2,000+ miles) three times in Keds tennis shoes.

When I backpack I don't wear boots, I wear running shoes. A little more sophisticated than Chuck Taylors, but sneakers nontheless.

slang...that would explain a whole lot...

and the entire appy trail in Keds!?! That is definitly the most insane thing I have ever heard!

I've tried packing in sneakers of various types...never did get a good feel for it. Not sure what it was, just didn't feel right for some reason.
