The Piper's Wardrobe

[cajuncelt]

My personal opinion:
I like the way the old-school pipers dressed. I feel a glengarry, PBonnie jacket, vest, piper's plaid, hair sporran and tartan hose looks awesome!
I wear, but still don't care for the "civilian band" look. I think our little sporrans (dress or day) look odd compared to a horse hair. White hose...no way. Vest and short sleeve shirt...blah (MacDonald's Manager?).
I don't have the money to purchase the look I want, but I would wear it to pipe at weddings, etc. if I could.

Not my pic's but a comparison of what I was talking about

I guess I really an an old fuddy-duddy as far as this goes.

when piping in public, professionally, or such places as comps and the like, I would wear nearly at least semi-formal, if not formal, if it wren't out of place, say a PC at a highland games!

Definately long shirt, at least a waistcoat, semi, hunting, or hair sporran. Argyll hose, brogues of some sort.

I wonder though if the hair sporran and Plaide is not of the same nature as the white hose and short shirt, band inspired?
