Welcome to the Forum Duncan!

Wear what is comfortable with your kilt, though I would agree with others here and avoid mixing a print with a tartan and stay with solids. About wearing your wifes' tartan I think it's a grand idea, my bride of nearly 32 years is giiving me a kilt for our anniversary this October and to honor her I've chosen to have it made in her clan tartan (MacNeil).

Am I the only one who can't stand those "Jacobite" shirts?

Nope. I won't go so far as to say that "I can't stand" them, but you'll only see me wearing them at Renn Faire gigs. Otherwise, they make me look like a bat.

Hey Todd... as for Central Florida's Celtic culture, I'm sure it's there. We're EVERYWHERE. It's all relative, but I understand.

Isn't that the truth, Jimmy -- it sure proves that the Celts are a "diaspora people", and continue to be so. :mrgreen:

I'm not big on the white or off-white Jacobite shirts -- our piper has one in a sage green which works well with his Campbell kilt, but that's an exception. I guess I'm not fond of them because they're everywhere as well.

Yes, they do fit in at Ren Faires.

I never wear my kilt to Ren Faires, though. It would seem like I was using it as a costume.

That's precisely why I wear it with my caramel workman's UtiliKilt. ;)

No, you're definitely not. I don't share your dislike, but I know other folks definitely do.

Nope, I can't stand them either. At least usually. Bear had some pretty cool ones from L&M Highland Outfitters at the games this year, and I was almost tempted. http://www.landmhighland.com/default...typ=60&pid=461

In general I kinda like the look of the Jacobite shirt....except for the lacing. Leave out the lacing and it's a reasonably comfortable design for moderate to cool weather.

Same here Bubba, I have found that they can make great nightshirts though
