I've been poring over CC's latest catalogue (thanks!) and note that they advertise the ancient for Renn Faire's. For that purpose, they're fine. Seems like if one were worn elsewhere the person would look like the folks in BeloitPipers Milwaukee HG thread.
Old style ghillies & a belt pouch work well with that outfit.
My own taste for Renn Faires run to leine & ionar.
All that said, the pic & kilt do appeal.
