non kilt - suspenders

[Barry]

I did a double take when I first saw this post. This is because 'suspenders' in Britain are what the ladies hold their stockings up with. The vision of a burly bloke in a kilt, black stockings and suspenders almost caused a mental meltdown!


Anyway, on British TV there's an advert running for Cadbury's cream eggs. One of the scences shows a big fella in a white jumper, grey kilt and braces. He is cutting his egg with an axe while his adoring girl looks on. A really positive image of a kilted man, Hoorah!!

The buttons on the ex-mil kilts might also be for matching with the old battldress jackets. The jackets had buttonholes on the lower hem lining for buttoning to trousers, due to the shortness of the jackets. Could be dual purpose.

I always wear suspenders, with both kilt and pants.
My waist is bigger than my hips, so they fall down
otherwise. I suppose a really tight belt would
keep them up. Sounds comfortable doesn't it? (not)

I only own one pair, and those are camo ones that I wear with my hunting clothes. I don't hunt in a kilt either. It would be in the way of the safety harness I wear in my tree stand.
