Title: Kilt with fly plaid pics
Post by: Lady Ellie on January 15, 2011, 04:24:59 PM
I'm needing pics of kilts with fly plaids. My hubby wants to be sure of how to place his when wearing his kilt. Yes, I finally talked him onto getting one. It's just a utilikit but it will do for now. Thanks for all your help.

Here's my trusty Sidekick with his. Photo courtesy of Paul (PS thanks Paul, it's my favorite photo of him!) :)

Well this is trippy, I can see the picture just fine but Sidekick can't on his computer. Here's the link...

Paul, if I've done a no-no with a link to your site, please let me know and I'll fix it in whatever fashion necessary!

There are some good pictures at Celtic Croft (http://www.kilts-n-stuff.com/kilts/ancient-kilts/) (the folks who made Milord's kilt).

Well, being involved in the Celtic community, my first thought is to offer a piece of advice- don't bother with a fly plaid, unless you attend a lot of white tie events. They are, by modern convention, seriously over the top for anything other than the most formal of events, unless you're the guest of honor. That being said, here's a buddy of mine wearing his:

And a rather interesting one I found on Google:

As a matter of fact, I've been looking through the pictures of all my friends and aquaintences for pictures of them wearing fly plaids, and the only ones I can find are of Jaime (the first one I posted) and MacAngus, who is a chat board friend, and this picture is of him performing duties as a bagpiper! Otherwise, I can't find any!
