If only he had the Kilt on right...

No, I just can't see James Earl Jones saying that ... or even Hayden Christensen, for that matter.

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.

[O'Callaghan]

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?

the kilt is also on sideways, folks...

That's a new one for me. Backwards is almost understandable, but how do you get to "I'm sure the pleats should be on the right"?

[Frank McGrath]

The kilt police have chosen not to deal with this one. The Force is too strong. And if "Lord Vader" chooses not to buy the kilt police a certain style of drink, well, fooey on him, anyway.

[BEEDEE]

The farce is with you. (And it is not a misspelling)

I think you guys are seeing way more detail than I am. Which sort of reinforces a larger point that I was alluding to. But I'll leave it alone at that.

I think the're right and it is on sideways, but half the front of the kilt is covered by the shoulder plaid. I wasn't looking for it, because I assumed it was a great kilt, but I think you can see the edge of the outer apron just to the right of the shoulder plaid. I wouldn't say it exactly jumped out at me, though. When I first looked all I saw was a great kilt, not a sideways kilt with a shoulder plaid.

[Tobus]

It was hard for me to see too, but it does seem that the edge of the apron is at his front.

This isn't a great kilt, though, is it? It looks like a philabeg with a 'day plaid' over his shoulder.

What tartan is it? I couldn't find the Empire's tartan in any registry.
