Belted Plaid as Casual Attire?

[James MacMillan]

I agree
I wear a belted plaid at reenactments and find it a great garment to wear in the woods and around camp but I think that it would be cumbersome around town.
BTW beloitpiper you outfit looks sharp

The kilt is not cumbersome if it fitts you and is well made!

You'll probably get loads of weird looks, because most folks won't know what you are wearing.

I suggest reserving the belted plaid for festivals, highland games, reenactments, and the like.

So you are saying that you only wear the kilt once or twice a year? - No, no - you can't be saying that!

All of my kilts are tartan - (or to use your term -Belted plaid) - and that is what I wear. I am going on my second year without wearing pants! And I have been wearing the kilt as standard attire for close to 14 years.

I just remember the last time that I had on a pair of pants, as being close to two years ago - 16 September 2005, to be exact.

Casual, dressy, formal - the kilt fits all needs. I tend to, pretty much always, wear hose, flashes, belt and sporran, except for strenuous or really dirty work.

The kilt is comfortable, easy to wear, care for and does not get weird looks. I have been in many situations and many different countries, and everybody recognizes the kilt for what it is.

Was that your question?
