Kilts and Hawaiian Shirts

[McFarkus]

I must leap in here (those who know me will expect me to) and beg you NOT to wear Hawaiian shirts with tartan kilts. For the safety of the eyesight of your friends and family you really should not do this. Wear them with plain coloured traditional or contemporary kilts but please, not with tartan.

The tartans we wear are beautiful works of art (as, I am sure, are Hawaiian designs); they should be seen to their best advantage, standing alone and without something else alongside elbowing in for equal attention. Nothing should be allowed to compete with the beauty of our individual tartans, not even a mix of different tartans being worn on one body - which is almost, but not quite, as bad as putting an Hawaiian shirt with a gorgeous tartan kilt!

I have said all this many times before. I have said it again now and, no doubt, I will be obliged to repeat it in the future - if I am spared.

Hear my plea - and please do not do it!

Take care,
Ham.

Oh no, I never ever mix tartan and Hawaiian shirt. Sometimes with that kakhi Buzz Kidder, but never with tartan.

Tweed and tartan, on the other hand seems to work out for some reason...

EEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! I need Smelling Salts ... No, on second thoughts, I need a VERY strong drink, or several VERY strong drinks! Help me PLEASE! Somebody? Anybody?

I need care,

IIEEEEEEEE! I've went blind!!!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!! (Well, with a black shadow tartan or a denim [or maybe olive drab] casual kilt ...)

Sorry, I just don't think that works but that's just my opinion. Your mileage may vary.

I have a blue Hawaiian shirt with white flowers, and a white one with blue flowers. There's a picture of the white one up in the gallery, also somewhere in my albums. Then I have a solid black, silk one: no flowers.

I do not wear the orange ones. And again, never ever with tartan.

IMHO not with tartan, but with solid color kilts (particularly contemporary kilts in summer cotton and poly-cottons) definitely.

Oh no! Its those wretched Hawaiian shirt things,again! I bet it won't be long before James MacMillan chips in.
