Wearing boots with a kilt isn't a problem (as long as we have socks). But sandals and a kilt? Perhaps... maybe... in a Roman Legionaire kind of way... maybe. (see above point about the legs.)What would you make of tulaichean pumps or gille brogues with a kilt then? I usually wear the latter, used to wear the former quite often but not much now, but depending on the occassion have worn sneakers, wellies, ankle boots, sandals, wrapovers, formal shoes, and flipflops with kilt - like most people, I suit footwear to the current task rather than worrying about fashion, and if the footwear is right for a given task it's right whether I'm wearing a kilt or something different.
As for socks with kilt:- short socks with casual lace-ups or ankle boots, long with wellies or formal lace-ups, and whatever (long socks, short socks, or no socks) suits the occasion (and the weather) with any of the others.
All of the above work.
It's not socks with sandals and a kilt that give me pause... it's the specific image of socks with sandals - and only a particular kind of "socks with sandals" image - that creates that reaction.
Because that brings back memories of a certain fashion era that I keep hoping is dead and gone...

(see above point about the legs.)If he went with the Roman Legionaire "kind of way" would you require he carry a gladius and wear a nidau helmet?
And greeves. Would certainly attract attention.
Dye the helmet plumes red, wear a red cloak and you're a walking advertisement.
Oh good god, don't give them ideas.

Is this person irritating anyone else, or am I just in low-tolerance mode at the moment?Some of the posts seem... less than original.

I was just going to wear black socks that went about 1/3 of the way up my shin, that's right isn't it? Or were we talking argyle?

Hey, Steve (and other Prius owners), I just heard about this and wanted to pass it along:Toyota says a problem with electric power steering is prompting a recall of about 52,000 Priuses from 2001-3 in the United States, part of a global action affecting 106,000 vehicles.
remember when power steering was an option?
Yep - everytime I drive the GTO. 😀
4.9 turns lock to lock.
Lots of cranking to park it.
First one had a manual transmission and brakes too.
And 'air' was to manually crank down the windows.
Pretty crude by any of today's standards.

Ghillie Brogues are just fine with a kilt. But a search of the web didn't give me a picture of "Tulaichean pumps", so I can offer no opinion on those being worn with a kilt. Seeing that I'm on the western side of the pond, the most common time I see men in kilts is a Pipe Band in a parade and that is generally the full kit with all the bells and whistles. So that's what I'm used to seeing.
As for the addition of swords, if you're going to add swords, best to keep it within the culture. The addition of a Scottish Claymore to the whole thing will probably produce as many comments as just the kilt.
I heard a story about a person in the SCA who was coming back from an event and was riding the NCY subway in the late evening hours. His persona for the SCA was Scottish, so he was wearing the kilt, all the bells and whistles and a Claymore. There were only a few in the subway car when three or so punks got on. They, being the punks that they were, saw a man in a skirt as easy prey. As they moved in to close on their chosen victim, he stood up, bared a few feet of steel and said, "I've got three more feet of steel and I know how to use it." The punks, being the cowards they generally are, decided that the next stop was theirs and got off the subway.
Whether the story is true or not, I have no clue. But it makes for an interesting picture and entertaining story.
But then, if someone was wearing a kilt and sandals and also carting around a Claymore, I just might be more forgiving about the whole socks thing. 😀

Thanks. I have a 2006, so I should be ok.

So I just started a consulting company and I have a question for you. What should my title be? If I'm the CEO, the company looks really small - any time the CEO is out doing something, there can't be that many people back at the "office". Although it's just me and will probably stay that way, I'd like the company to sound like it has clout. The other upside to not having a "top level" title is that when people you don't want to talk to call, you can always say, "the boss isn't in". If I'm a "Database Engineer", it doesn't sound like I know anything. Senior SQL Engineer? VP of ________? Director of Database Technology? Hmmm......

I think I'd be more worried about someone with a gladius on a subway car. A claymore is a lot of steel in a confined space.
