Trying to decide who to lend a SP touch to a formal look of a kilt with a Prince Charlie coat & vest without adding superfluous gears or cogs... Googles seem silly with formal wear

Perhaps just some airship medals on the breast, and steamy cap badge on the glengarry?

Oh Yes that man! btw, I would be interested in a suitable airship badge for a glengarry if someone was looking to do a small batch. |

I once tried kilts. Sadly I have legs that make small children cry hysterically and chickens point and laugh.

My wife thinks I look stupid in a kilt but good in a bathtowel. But what does she know. She has lousy taste in men anyway.  |

I love my kilt!
I unfortunately only have one at the moment, and my place of employment does not allow for the wearing of kilts, so I only get to wear mine sporadically.
If I had it my way, I would never wear pants again.

First of all I'm completely new to this, and I realize that it's been a long time since anything has posted here. However I have read everything that has been posted on this thread and have an observation to make that no one seems to have addressed. Regarding Scottish surnames. According to an article in a long ago discarded SCA publication, Scots basically did not use surnames as we know it today, but managed to make do with patronymics, each generation took the first name of his father preceded by Mac or Mc. Theoretically a man might have the surname McGregor, while his son's could be MacIver, and his grandson might be McFergus; and their clan might be McIntyre. The only time a consistent surname was used was by the families of the chiefs, for dynastic purposes. If I remember correctly, this was practiced well into the 1700s. I also seem to remember that this is (or was at the time the article was written about 20 years ago) still practiced, to some degree, in one or more of the Scandinavian countries.

This is true of many European surnames, not just Celt names. Spanish surnames included (perhaps an indirect connection to the former Celt population in the Iberian peninsula contemporary with Hispania being a Roman province....) e.g. Fernandez = Son of Fernando But the practice ended much earlier than the 1700's for the Spanish (probably in the mediaeval period, and certainly well before 1492, and the 1500's Conquest), and I think as well for most Europeans... I assume... |

Since this thread has been resuscitated, here is a picture of the wind lifting my kilt.  This also shows the old Brooks Brother houndstooth coat that I cut down to kilt size. |

My legs are like that. Haven't worn a kilt much since 1976, when I was in a Highland Regiment (the 74th) for the Bicentennial. |

I imagine this is what you're talking about: http://www.74thhighlandregiment.com/index.htmlWe are the recreated 74th Highland Regiment of Foot with the Battalian Company in Maine and the Flank Companies based in Massachusetts. The Light Company has members from New England to the Mid Atlantic States.
The 74th strive to recreate a Scottish regiment as it existed during the American War for Independence. Since this thread has been resuscitated, here is a picture of the wind lifting my kilt. This also shows the old Brooks Brother houndstooth coat that I cut down to kilt size. How salacious of you... |

Yes & no- Same Regiment, but that's a different group in another part of the country doing it now. In Texas, nobody was interested after July 5th, 1976. To most people here, the Bicentennial was over after July 4th... |

I spent pretty much the entire week of the Steampunk Cruise in either a Utilikilt or one of my formal wool Clan Buchanan tartan kilts (modern or hunting). |

Mr. MacAuslander... There. Fixed. the URL you pasted is to the Flickr page not the picture. You have to right-click and a menu asking which size you want to see pops up. Then you click on any size and that brings you to another URL. then (if your browser supports it) right click again and it will show on your browsers menu (not Flickr's) whether you want to "view image" click on that and it will show the image with the right URL on top - copy that URL and that is the good one.  |
