wearing the kilt backward

[Riverkilt]

Probably makes sense to the uneducated kilt wearer...sit on the part without the pleats, keep the pleats in good shape...

A few years ago at the Long's Peak Highland Games, I saw a guy wearing a cotton tartan cloth wrapped around his waist. No apron, no pleats and not much of an overlap. It appeared to be held on by a cheap belt. His torso was covered with a cheap grey sweatshirt. Soiled running shoes and low top black socks set off the ensemble. It was only moderately breezy and he was having trouble with his make-shift tartan sarong taking flight. I about fell over laughing after we got far enough away to be out of earshot. What are these guys thinking?

But did he have a sword? It only counts if he had a sword. Or a big rock. If he had a big rock, I'll give him some points.

Ah, yes, but these gentlemen were not wearing two legged misery, were they?

It's a start, and I think it takes some special kind of nerve to pull it off.

"If they ain't agin us they's for us".

Aye Sir Robert,

We can approach the backwards kilters with the same compassion we'd show a bifurcated friend with his fly open.

You guys are right. I am convicted by your comments about my lack of compassion. I am certainly not qualified to judge anyone in such matters. My apologies to everyone here and to the brave lads who have done their best in wearing the kilt. I stand corrected and ask your forgiveness.

Sir Robert,

Your wisdom is insightful, and point well taken. I shall spread the wisdom that I have learned on this site as my contribution to their proper kilt wearing education.

Thank you again.

Ron

once again, you're brilliant.
