Kilt Do's and Don'ts

[Nighthawk]

DO wear your kilt at an Australia Day BBQ....???

Actually this is me committing a whole bunch of DON'Ts. So I post this for your amusement at my expense.

But it was too hot and humid for hose and broags, and I had drunk enough to think that the leather cutoff was a good match..
(And I'm sure you'll find a few more DON'Ts I didn't think of.)
But I was wearing a kilt and was having fun doing so.

Oh well...

Man, I see a whole lot of DO's there! I love the look of the leather vest with the kilt. I have been wanting to get a new one myself. I used to have a nice black suede vest, but I outgrew it. There's nothing at all wrong with wearing a kilt with sandles so long as your not also wearing... say... an Argyle jacket with it as well. sandles and a t shirt work well. That's the beauty of the kilt- even the contemporary ones. They can be dressed up or down to accomodate the situation. I think brogues may have been a little too dressed up for that little party anyways!

It's the shirt. Every so often I see kilted musicians wearing vests. You can't wear the long sleeve shirt and the sandals both. You have to go with the black t-shirt under the black leather vest, and the skinnier and shorter you are the better it looks.

Good point. I did consider wearing a T shirt, but I thought the grandfather shirt looked better. However I will have another think about it.

I used to be skinny when I was younger, but alas no more. So I'll have to make do with what I've got.

Okay, sorry to hijack for a bit, but I am fascinated with Hamish's tartan in this picture. Anyone know what it is? What about the other two gents? I like them as well. Thanks gents!

I don't know, but you're right, that's a great tartan!

Hamish posted elsewhere recently that he has his website up and the Kilt Kollection [http://www.kiltedhamish.net/gallery/main.php section is well populated and documented. I would look through the Kilt Kollection Katalogue for the tartan du jour ith: :blimp:

It's because he looks at home in the kilt. That didn't happen by wearing a kilt once. I try to kilt up as often as possible, and it'll take me some time to get that certain je ne sais quoi.

Granted, but the smile makes it. He is having fun and you can see it. Note; if you want to have a good response to your pictures, SMILE!

I've concluded that some people have the inability to coordinate and dress themselves, regardless if it involves a kilt or not.
