Suze Posted August 22, 2009 Report Posted August 22, 2009 kilts look silly with boots - my opinion I am in the Society for Creative Anacronism (www.sca.org) and see a LOT of kilts the guys wearing them with boots just look like they forgot half their kit.j but if you are just going to make spats you could get (burn me now gang) naugahide from the sewing store and fuss with a pattern till you get it the way you want and then go get leather and make them up.

Suze Posted August 25, 2009 Report Posted August 25, 2009 Fianally got back on - with a different OS - something is going on in Internet Explorer on my machine.....grrrrr Anyway - Ray a kilt NEEDS to have the nice kilt hose and the low shoes How else is a girl supposed to "appreciate" a well turned leg if they cover it up with a boot? besides if you are going to go in a costume you might as well go all the way and do it right. Otherwise you sort of look like that guy in the Star Wars Stormtrouper outfit wearing sneakers. The rest of the kit may be dead on right - but there are those sneakers with the "swoosh" on the side......

So is this where I point out that that whole great kilt thing is post-period for both Ren Faires and the SCA anyway, or is that too blunt for this crowd? Quote
Contributing Member UKRay Posted August 26, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted August 26, 2009 See what I mean? That Tashabear is definitely scary! Suze: All this talk of well turned legs is making me think of Chippendale... LOL Quote "Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps" Ray Hatley www.barefootleather.co.uk
Suze Posted August 26, 2009 Report Posted August 26, 2009 Tashabear - I guess the guys think that they are being "different" and soooo right by putting on a kilt- who are we to rain on their parade? mmmmmm - manly men in kilts are almost as good as manly men in tights......(I don't know WHY guys refuse to wear tights when they go to the pool in a speddo) although the 400 pound guy at Pennsic wearing a loincloth was a bit much. (No tan either - I hope he got the sunburn of his life. some people SHOULD wear more clothes) Ray - ;-P~~~~~ Quote Reality is for people who lack imagination Whether you think you can or think you can't - you are right. ~Henry Ford
tashabear Posted August 27, 2009 Report Posted August 27, 2009 See what I mean? That Tashabear is definitely scary! Aw... you know I'm all cuddly-wuddly. I guess it's just that I've been researching Viking York lately and all the talk of conquest and Danegeld has me thirsty. Quote
