Kilt Attire - Texas style

[Tobus]

I saw a fellow at the last Highland Games in San Antonio dressed as you describe, and I thought it looked pretty good. He had on a black felt hat, crisp white shirt, traditional kilt, and boots. I was fairly surprised to see that it worked as well as it did, although I probably couldn't pull it off.

I'd say the western style tooling on the belt would be the easiest to incorporate into the kilted outfit.

I can't say much about mixing the styles except that regular cowboy boots looks out of place. A pair of lace-up ropers may work though. Work boots and military boots look good, so maybe they would work. I'd try it out myself but my days of chasing cows ended a long time ago(more money and better hours in other jobs) so my boots are of the red-wing variety now.

It's not as drastic, but look at your accessories and get slightly unconventional with those. Example: A friend is working on a sporran, strap and kilt pin for me that are all beaded in Lakota style. I also have a red shirt that's been beaded(a gift from one of my wife's students). I think it will work really well with the American Heritage kilt I ordered from Rocky last month, and I deem it entirely appropriate as my wife and I are both accepted members of the tribe.
Try finding a "westernized" sporran, pin, belt, etc. A western shirt may fit as well. Some western suit jackets are short and might work okay without modification.

As was said earlier...it's your kit. As long as you like it, go for it.

I've worn Justin lace-up ropers numerous times kilted,
with and without hose, to better effect with,
and my 'cowboy' hat from The Hat Store in Houston
has shaded my head at many festivals, but not together.
Hrmmm...
Never have or would consider pull-on boots with any kilt.
Guess I'm just a laced-up kinda guy.
