The Kilt Kops

[Mike_Oettle]

Thank you, Steve, for a well-thought-out discussion of how the kilt can be worn, and to those who responded.
My new kilt (acquired in July – pictures soon, I promise) was made by an Afrikaans-speaking kilt-wearer from Springs, east of Johannesburg.
His label (which I will show in my pictures) states: “Vryheid van beweging.”
That translates as “Freedom of movement.”
It is an excellent summing up certainly of some of my own reasons for wearing the kilt.
Regards,
Mike

That sounds very interesting Mike, is it from the tartan in your Avitar?

I think the guy with the viking helmet and dinosaur feet knew he looked outlandish, but not the guy with the basting stitches. There is a world of difference between choosing to look weird and being embarassed by a faux pas. The latter is rather like leaving the packaging on something when you are using it.

As for representing his clan, it's up to them whether they want a weirdo marching in front of them. Either they accepted it or he was too big to argue with, LOL! As they say in Glasgow, a big yin.

Re Viking helmet & dinosaur feet:
Well, it could have been worse. He could have been wearing a flat cap and white hose. <grin>
