You mean something like a Tibetan monk wearing a clergy kilt?

Wow... I hadn't actually expected to see it! Cool. Coincidentally, I started reading "The Saffron Robe" earlier today...

Brilliant!

I don't know how helpful it is. Buddhist monks very, very rarely officiate at weddings, and are never, ever in the military.

But there it is.

They do, however, occasionally hang with Howie Nicholsby.

Here are a couple more -- one of them is for cool weather --- the other having some fun.

One of my favorites of myself:


Another good one:

AFAIK, the Clark tartan has a clerical tradition to it... Clarks being Kirk-minders (that is "priests"). I also have Clark in my family tree, and it's a nice looking sett IMHO... I've heard that Clergy (regardless of familial extraction) have, legendarily, worn the Clark/Clergy tartan for their own protection during times of inter-clan feuds and such (so as not to be targeted).

I remember reading that somewhere, too- the colors being neutral to all clans. Like most other things regarding Highland tradition, I take it as simply legend/romantic fantasy until I can find some actual fact behind it.

Sorry I don't do a lot of photos but my Kilted attire is the same in the church or outside of it unless I'm in a collared shirt or covered by a robe. Otherwise, it's the same kilt(s ), sweaters, shirt, hose and shoes. As mentioned, there are several "clergy" kilts but I stick with my family tartans when working.

If you do a search on clergy related threads you'll find opinions on whether a skean dhu is appropriate. I always wear mine so as stated above, nothing changes for me. I am always kilted around St. Paddy's day to counter some of the "blarney" from a couple of our Irish-American members - and they love it.
