Fedora with the kilt?

[Doc Canary]

Am very much amused by the multiple threads of people asking if this or that looks good.
IF YOU LIKE IT AND IT LOOKS GOOD ON YOU, ROCK IT!!
You have already made the major impression by just having the pride and the balls to wear a kilt. The other issues of fashion are subjective.

I love the way we can all get a banter going and here's us on the other side of the world from each other! May i reply to you;

IRISH JACK. Thank you for sharing about your 'door an din auld gutcher' of a scottish relative and your irish one.Great craic! And as for the way you wear the kilt,LOVE YOUR STYLE man! Would not do it myself but your utter defiance and determination to plow on ahead in what you feel is right in something that is really your call is absolutely brilliant.I like the cut of your jib and there's nothing i'd like more than to sit around a fire outbye in your neck of the woods,drinking and swapping stories!Don't change,should be more like you!

Mc ELMURRY.In the same spirit that i posted to irish jack,that is,to celebrate a personality,i must say your comment to his picture had me chuckling out loud here!Love your humour and i'm sure irish jack took it in good spirit too.

MacMAN.Thought my post would connect with other's from scottish families and thanks for your recognition.Your motto touch not the cat bot a glove,intriuges me as one of my background family names is Mac Intosh,one of the clan's that made up the clan chattan federation.We may be distantly related!

ROBBIE THE PIPER and CMcG.I do apologize for my shoddy typing and have been and will continue to try to improve.I mean not to be lazy it's just that,as i have said in other post's,i'm not experienced at all in this typing at computors bit.

I only just got a couple of photo's put up this morning only because i pestered my long suffering wee wifey into doing it for me.I hope if you compare this post to some of my previous ones you can see your way into thinking i've picked up my game a little?I mean no disrespect to any if my typing is on a slow learning curve and i thank any of you who have put up with it.Most of all though THANK YOU for pointing it out so that i'm aware that continued improvement is needed.Your honesty is appreciated.

Takes a Big man to respond well to criticism! Everyone makes typo mistakes ( Me inclddd! ). It's not a matter of being "correct", just making it a lot easier to read...Robbie

I waited to post in this thread, and I waited some more. My fiance really REALLy likes the look of me in a kilt with a non traditional hat, and I was watching to see what y'all had to say without me muddying the waters.

I think what we are seeing is if the kilt is being worn as a "bottom" just like surfer shorts or pressed wool slacks or blue jeans, it can sometimes work with a non-trad hat.

My current rule of thumb hinges on kilt hose. If I am going to wear kilt hose with the kilt I _might_ get away with a non-trad hat, but it takes some effort, as demonstrated by the wizard.

With socks other than kilt hose (and typically lace up boots of some kind) wearing a non-trad hat with the kilt can look OK to, though it isn't a traditional look at all.

The other time I waited was to get a pic of my own to contribute after the wizard's challenge.

Bugbear: It does look a lot like a weathered Lamont, but you can see some differences. In any case it is a good-looking tartan and blends well in that desert environment.

A giant sombrero? I live in New Mexico. You just gave me an idea. Adios amigo! :-)

According to figheadair, that sett is a "Smiths' Campbell of Argyll."

He later said those colors would have not been historically used to make that tartan.
I think it's just kind of based on the Lamont tartan, but is not really a Lamont.

Good luck with the giant sombrero. Just remember, it should shade the whole village.

AKScott: Yes, it does seem that some folks are decoupling the kilt from other Scottish attire (except perhaps in more formal Scottish events) and experimenting with a variety of looks.

The only thing incongruous to me about your attire in the picture is the kilt and T-shirt along with several inches of snow! Brrrr. :-)

I wear and olive green crusher with my kilts on occasion, as well as a black Kufi.

I had to dig back to my early days of kiltwearing, but here's a picture;

I actually bought that hat on the trip. I took a sock hat, but felt I needed something that would keep my gourd warm and the sun off too.
