Kilted Fridays Adventures

[Paco500]

So I started a new job back in May and have the chance to meet some of my new co-workers for the first time today for a Pub Lunch outside of London.



As is my preference, fairly non-traditional. Green tweed kilt with brown leather airplane seatbelt buckle, tan brogues, green hose with red flashes and (in my opinion anyway) a cool sculpted crow's skull broach repurposed as a kilt pin.

I hadn't worn a kilt out of the house in a few months, what with the recent re-openings and getting back to a regular (not very kilt friendly) routine. Between work (not kilt friendly), running (not kilt friendly), climbing (very not kilt friendly), and working from home (kind of a waste), I've been finding it difficult to find time to get all kilted up.

I posted the following photo in the K&C group as a "throwback," and expressed some of the above. The resounding response was "just do it," and "just treat it like jeans."

Anyway, I did my best to "treat it like jeans" with a simple casual outfit this weekend, and tried out scrunched hose for the first time. I like the effect for a very dressed-down look.

Happy Kilted Friday Y’all!
You’ll notice I’m embellishing my first jacket/waistcoat ensemble with a tried and true technique: bringing in an adorable (kilted) child to level me up through proximity 👍

Good move; worked great! Although you look good anyway (as does your companion ornament). Please let me know where you rented your ornament; as a very casual dresser I often need leveling up. Haven't seen those in shops near me.

Theyre hard to find. This adorable one, along with her brothers, loves wearing a kilt. When she saw me trying on my new jacket, she insisted we had a Dada/Daughter Kilt fashion show. Im calling it a solid parenting win

You both look fabulous. Special call-out to:

1: Your boots- excellent.
2. Her belt buckle- very excellent.

Much appreciated.
1)'Bunsin combat boot' by Madden, very affordable and very comfortable even to walk around in all day. Doubt they're super durable, but hey, looks count for something.
2)She picked the rose flower buckle and kilt pin. Immediately upon arrival she requested it be painted pink. What can I say, she knows how to coordinate accessories...I think she'll fit right in to the kilt community

Wore my XMTS tartan USA Kilt to Quantico National Cemetery for fellow XMarker ORVIS/ORVICE's, (aka Gerry Orvis, MSGT, USMC ret) interment. Sir William was there in his US Marine tartan kilt. A living history reenactor of the Appin Regiment (1745 Jacobites) played the bagpipes. Gerry had written his own eulogy read by his daughter. You Marines would be proud. Semper Fi, Marines.
