DESCRIPTION:
(Kilt freedom!) Excerpt from Preface: "Do not take any of my opinions as authoritative, but feel free to disagree with any or all of them!I am not a purist in matters of Scottish dress, but I have been careful to include the opinion of those who tend to that extreme.". Most American readers are going to take a more relaxed attitude about the rules, restrictions, and protocols. Interesting, detailed, and informative! Author J Charles Thompson's discussion of how the kilt and accessories are to be worn. Keep in mind though, that Thompson admits to being very ridge in his opinions and recommendations (see quote below). A terrific guide and reference manual for the beginner or experienced wearer of kilts
Lannie C. Manuel said buy this before buying a kilt. this book has been great for me and my husband. we desided to buy him a proper kilt and not just a costume and was not aware of all that we needed. it has been a wealth of information. i love that it goes into some history also. I love that the author is straight forward with you about his experience and expertise.. "A Bold Fashion Statement" according to John A Lee III. I'm the last guy I ever expected to buy, read or review anything having to do with clothes or fashion but here I am doing it. I'm getting married in a few months and I can't remember everything Grandpa said about the proper wearing of a kilt. It's too late to ask him so I turned to the book. It was a good choice.I suspect that this will appeal to a rather limited market, namely those people who are interested in the "proper" way to wear highland dress. It gives short and well explained chapters on just about every aspect of trad. For every one who wears the kilt Philip C. Dunbar This is pretty much the standard for wearing a Highland outfit correctly, so I got it for my grandson who is getting his first kilt. I get so tired of seeing ball caps, straw hats, work boots and so forth worn with a kilt. Everyone should have a copy of this book.
