Pants tucked into boots, or pants over top of the boots, neither changes the fact that cowboy boots and a kilt don't look good and you run the risk of being mistaken for Patsy Cline

I'd imagine that a kilt could look pretty darned good, though, while line-dancing. Especially one with a high swish factor. :rolleyes:

According to much of the feedback that I get when I dance, it does. We do a dance called "Backstreet Attitude" sometimes to "Swing," a Trace Adkins tune. The dance includes eight counts of swinging the hips to and fro, and I've been told that I swing like no other in my kilt. I know that when I'm dancing, the kilt creates interesting movement, and people watch.

I do not wear cowboy boots with my kilt, though I am looking for ropers that would be suitable.

Jamie, I tip my cowboy hat to you for posting that photo. I don't think it looks all that bad, and I am amazed at the way the snaps on the shirt appear to continue down the kilt. I'd like to see that outfit again with the hose pulled up to regular height, sans bandana. I keep thinking that if someone wants to wear a kilt to a hoedown, there's got to be a way to make it work without him looking like he got lost on his way to the Celtic Festival.

I think Colin has a bit of a point here.

Exhibit A




"Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond'ring what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you."

Needless to say I changed to jeans when we went to Roaring Camp Railroad in Felton CA later that morning (and lost the bandana!).

Cheers


P.S. I hope MacSimoin doesn't see this!

I've noticed that in east Texas the pants generally get tucked in when it rains. I'm still waiting for that to happen.

Panache, that kilt would look so much better with rhinestones on it!

I was digging out my old Western Shirts for a VCA company picnic at Roaring Camp Railroad. I have written before that I think that Western and Kilted looks aren't compatible. But it was a Sunday morning and I thought it would be fun would give it my best shot. The F-H.C.A.G. insisted she take a picture of me.

This is not an outfit that I personally would be comfortable wearing out. I just can't imagine being able to pull it off (kudos to those that can though).
I do think that it is kind of cool that that button lines of the calvalry shirt are continued by the Utilikilt.

By the by, we had a great time and my wife and I had a blast remembering how to Two Step (it had been way to long)

Lastly, I meant no disrespect to Patsy Cline in my post. There is a reason "Crazy" is one of the alltime classics.

To be honest, that outfit,worn with ropers and minus the bandana wouldn't look bad at all. Just keep in mind the color co-ordination.

... This is not an outfit that I personally would be comfortable wearing out... it is kind of cool that that button lines of the calvalry shirt are continued by the Utilikilt... etc

When I first saw the picture, my reaction was..."where's the civil war slouch hat, riding boots, crop, revolver, etc.

But since you're wearing both blue and grey... the question would be - Is you Confederate or is you Union?

Actually the Cavalry shirt is black. I is me!
