What's wrong with this picture?

I refuse to believe that anyone who spent money for a kilt would not know which is the front and which is the back!

Several members here attended a Kiltcon event in the Atlanta area last year and encountered folk who were new to kilts. A call was made to group up on the stairs outside the bar for a photo. As we were arranging ourselves, I managed to insert myself next to a very nice gentleman
who was wearing his kilt backwards. While conversing, he mentioned he was a little nervous and uncertain, and asked what I thought of his acquisitions. I told him I thought he had chosen well, though were he serious about wearing it, he might wish to turn it around before the photo. He did, was embarrassed, and was relieved to see I wasn't laughing.

Then there's infamous DNA company ad where the guy is wearing a kilt backwards while talking about how grateful he is to have found out
the family story of being German had been resolved. Big oops for a costume person on the shoot. I have been amazed to see that they've
not bothered to reshoot to correct.

More than once I have encountered folk with basting still in place. A quiet, "You might want to remove these to avoid damaging your kilt.'' is appreciated. In all encounters, a gentle suggestion in the vein of "I rise to a point of order" is well received, along with reassurances that we were all new once.

Very interesting, good advice, and I never noticed that the gentleman who had thought he was German was wearing his kilt backwards! I'll have to check that out.
