If only he had the Kilt on right...

I don't know a lot about great kilts, but I can't see what's so wrong about how it is being worn. The way I understand it, the kilt was but a long length of material that a person rolled himself up into, slinging the remaining material over the shoulder or tying it around the waist.

I'm sure that I'm overlooking some tedious detail that the learned kilt police have not.

I'm not KP- in fact, I am in hiding from them constantly- but that's not a great kilt. It's a regular modern kilt with a sash over the shoulder.

A lot of people at Renfairs wear a philabeg and then wear a sash as well to try to ape a great kilt. I had been wondering whether to do the same thing myself. The only time so far that I have worn a kilt at the local Renfest I seemed to be dressed differently than all the other kiltwearers, but the bigger difference was that I was wearing a modern T-shirt, and every other kilt wearer had on one of those so-called ghillie or Jacobite shirts.

I had contemplated getting a ghillie shirt and a sash for next year's Renfest. After all, I don't intend getting a great kilt just to wear once a year. OTOH, the way I was dressed, i.e. as a modern guy who just happened to be wearing a kilt, might be the better option, even if it does place me in a category of one.

What say you, X-markers? Get a sash, and/or get a ghillie shirt, or save my money and go the way I was dressed last time?
