Its beautiful. The lovely Caledonia I think I spy around your waist. Been wondering what one of those would look like and yours just made my day.

The girl is pretty too.

I guess no flatcaps in the renaissance period, eh?

Mr. ForresterModern, you are a mischievous man!

I didn't realise that folks on the other side of the pond actually had Samhain (I'm a pagan) dress up days at their place of work!

Over here we used to have nothing , at work or at home, until about ten or fifteen years ago when we imported the North American 'trick or treat' stuff. Before that we had absolutely nothing and used to see you guys doing your thing on US sitcoms etc.

As for taking it into work, I think it'll be a few years yet before we pick up on that. But, as with all things American, it'll hop on a cyber boat and sail its way over here one fine day!

An interesting thread from a bemused onlooker!

Need to be careful with the direction this is going.

But here we get multiple trick or treats / Halloweens. Some communities keep theirs on a set day as best they can (like Thursdays) and sometimes they have parades for the holiday the day before 'beggar's night' and some kids will go 2 different days in different towns, not to mention some malls have a special night as well.

Next year will be crazy... many towns around here, for the gods know what reason, refuse to allow Trick or Treating on a Sunday.

I think you'll find we have everything over here. Not a pagan, but the idea of new beginnings is kinda cool. It's gonna be real pretty with the moon nearly full.

Actually, some us still practice it as Samhain- myself for example- but I do allow my kids to participate in the more mainstream celebration. It's all in good fun so why not?

Colorado is expecting it's first snow storm of the year to roll in tonight. I have the feeling that this is going to be a cold Halloween here. Cold nights with full moons in Colorado are always the prettiest.

Super pic, Zardoz, but I almost failed to spot the Caledonia kilt!

Z and I have discussed starting our own Flat Cap Confederation forum, kind of an "xmarkstheflatcap" so to speak. We were going to invite you to provide the opening invocations, and you and Mac O' Rath were to be entered into our honorary hall of fame immediately. We were trying to keep it a surprise but I just cant hold back the excitement any longer.

We now return to your regulalry scheduled programming.

Zardoz, how cool to seperate the normal kilted business look and still be able to incorporate a non-costume Halloween look! Aside from the obvious beauty of the kilt and the lady in the photo I'm also liking the BIG sporran.

Thanks guys! Yes that is the Caledonia tartan. It's a lovely and versatle tartan that goes with every color of shirt or hose I own. It's in a USA Kilts Semi-Trad here. The sporran is a Buzz Kidder.

And if you think Crissy looked good as the candy corn witch, you're not alone, so many customers took her picture that day I started trying to charge them for it! You should see her pictures from the Texans cheerleader tryouts though!
