What standard kilt item to you just hate?

[Oddern]

What I don't like (or hate, but to strong a word) is the lack of hoses. When I se a guy in kilt and barefoot, it takes some of the masculinity from the kilt.

I think garter flashes are a pretty useless appendage, and only wear them for dressy occasions. A decorative vestige of a time when hose garters were worn. with the advent of elastic, there's no need for them.

I hope this thread doesn't turn into a "I hate seeing this on other people" judgemental sort of a thread and more of a "I won't wear a ******* because I dislike them/it on myself." kind of thread.

The first, being rather potentially combative, whereas the second......isn't.

Take this a s a gentle nudge, and if you prefer "dislike" to "hate" then good on ye. I strongly dislike black kilt hose on MYSELF.

I don't hate much but I can't see myself in period garb - period. If I'm going to be real honest, I can live without a sgian dubh most days as well.

Jacobite shirts...on myself of course

I don't like to wear white hose.

I really dislike the look of those little round torries, so I've cut them off all my balmorals.

And I can't say I particularly like those really long laces on ghillie brogues.

Other than that, it's all good!

Still cannot stand a kilt belt, I'll wear a vest or sweater or just plain do without.

Ghillies, they remind me of my Dad's work shoes.
Fly plaids cuz they serve no purpose for me.
Hose without flashes (since I have very few of them) but I likes my black hose better than the other colors .. well maybe the same as the blue ones.

I for one strongly dislike the concept that dressy must = fur. Would really prefer if there were more non-leather options as well. I also strongly dislike being judged as "not formal enough" because my sporrans don't have fur, but maybe another point for another time.

Actually... hate is a strong word. Strong enough I'd say. I hate fur items!!!


And I'd also have to say, and this depends on what day you catch me, I can often not be a fan of wearing something up on my waist. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. Mind you, my waist is a bit..... rounder than I'd like. I guess I just need a kilt or two that is cut at jeans waist.

Shorts or under garments, Just don't feel right not regimental.
