Ghillie boots

Now I'm not a propper Scotsman grounded by the borders of Scotland... but this pic I always found a smidge off. The leather kilt, kilts with pockets, and Mr All Plaid-Man. A few look okay... but it's the odd ones that stick out like a sore thumb to me.

Yes. The fellow 2nd from the right (in the back with the gray jacket & waistcoat), from what I can see, is about the only one that looks "traditional". At least how it is viewed here anyway.

Ahem, cough cough, non of them are dressed traditionally!

Pick the lad's attire apart then.

Well alright, he is the best of a bad lot. Except for the sporran with its offset sporran flap fastening, kilt worn too low and the dreadful Windsor knot for his tie that really wont do.

Noticed that about the sporran, but can't really tell if it's an offset flap or not (the one on the far left certainly is). I do think it's worn too high.

Yes, all the kilts are too low.

What's your preferred tie knot?

I think? Its called a fore?(four?)-in -hand knot.

To be fair to the two gentlemen on the right, it's hard to tell if the too low kilts is intention, ignorance or possibly poor sizing. The one on the far right (of the picture I don't know his political persuasion!) Looks as if the Jacket is just a bit too long in the sleeves so could have been asked to model the outfit which didn't quite fit right and so the kilt slipped at the waist?

[Pleater]

What I find most improper is the flare of the kilts - a kilt should not be A-line.

I do wear kilts of different lengths, but they are all properly styled. The pleats fall vertically from the lower edge of the fell - it alters the outline and the whole effect of the costume on the body (costume as in set of clothes not 'cos play')

I think of all of them the gentleman in all Tweed looks the best turned out and a style I could see myself wearing, the guy behind is ok but can't see enough to be 100% certain. The rest are awful.
