I'm full of questions today! What about boots with the kilt? What kind should be worn?

Boots! I can't say that in the 31 years I've been wearing a kilt have I ever seen anyone wearing boots! Not even in the reenactment groups.

Camchak,

Yes, the sporran helps. You can also wear boots, most wear a dress shoe. I enjoy a good set of black hiking boots. The leather ones in the picture are great if you are re-enacting the Jacobite soldiers for Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Most of the highland games I go to are for pipe band competition in Canada, so you don't see a lot of re-enactment groups. So, depending on how you were dressed, boots would be fine. I'm used to seeing and wearing Gillie broughs.

I very badly want a kilt. But the only one made with "my clans'" pattern is $800 - handmade from Scotland.

Can I just get away with boxers?

Where have you looked for kilt makers? There's a place in Barrie, Ontario that makes them. My band buys all our kilts from there. I'll try to get the contact infor for the place and pass it on.

mingkee,

Sounds like you have got it down pat. Just remember to have fun. It is also good to know that most who criticize the wearing of the kilt, have not the kahuna's to wear one. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

I spoke to my pipe major and asked him where we get our band kilts. He gave me their web site.

Burnett's and Struth

My pipe major has been in the pipe band business for almost 50 years and has dealt with many kilt makers. He says Burnett's and Struth is the best in North America. We don't deal with anyone else. They make good kilts at a good price.
