\please don't wear this to prom

Came for this, leaving pleased.

I'm sympathetic to the kilt cause, I'll just say that upfront.

On the other hand I have a hard time reading a website written by someone who doesn't understand grammar. Argh!

Kilt: A symbol of Scottish national pride invented by the Victorian English.

I have already sent notes to the high school principal and every member of the school board. I would encourage you to do the same. And I will be keeping a close eye on this, hopeful that the school board will be a wee bit more open minded than those who discriminated against Scotland and Mr. Carruba in the first place.

Yeah, this is what I expected to find. I can't say I'm "pleased" by it though...

I was surprised that it took that long to post it.

Some Bass Playing Guy: The reason given is pretty much BS, but there's probably a standard dress code for these types of events and all of the kids need to meet the requirements. Having a standard dress code is a good idea so that the event maintains the kind of formality of the typical prom. Without a dress code, people may dress in all sorts of bizarre ways, which is counterproductive to the experience.

Yes - because everyone looking and acting the exactly same makes for an awesome experience. Your prom must of been a hoot.

/wore a kilt to my brothers wedding

Utilikilt? Go ahead and ban them!
A real kilt? The school needs to lighten up.

But, that being said, are high school students mature enough to deal with a male student in a kilt? Probably not. There would be a lot of immature shiats there who would be constantly flipping up the kilt because they think it would be funny. And given what the potential kilt-wearing student would not be wearing under his kilt, it would definitely be a disruption to discipline. So, I can understand why the school would not allow him to wear a kilt. And it is a farking shame that because most of the other students would be a bunch of immature little pricks that this guy has to suffer for it.

What's the difference between you and a mallard with a cold, Trebek? One's a sick duck, and I can't remember how it ends, but your mother's a whore.

"Think I'm not very manly, eh, Trebek. Well, I was certainly manly enough for your mother last night."

/It had to be done. Sorry.

He should have opted for full battle dress and worn the full length evening gown covered in sequins.

Beaver1224: Och! Don't piss off the Scots!

They're just afraid he'll wear the appropriate undergarments.

Goddammit.

So... a kilt is just an anal bum cover...

Some Bass Playing Guy: Without a dress code, people may dress in all sorts of bizarre ways, which is counterproductive to the experience.

Whose experience? Theirs or the uptight people who want everyone to conform to their standard of beauty? I don't mean that just facetiously. Different social groups have different standards of beauty. By forcing everyone to dress 'the right way' you are enforcing the cheerleader/jock conformity form of beauty, and that enforces hierarchy. If everyone is wearing the same boring style it's much easier to sort out the prom queen and king than if you've got a goth chick over in one corner, and a punk guy over in the other, both done up in ways that makes them feel dressed to the nines without selling out, who is hurt? Someone wearing an expensive prom dress and a guy wearing a rental tux? Every social group has it's own signifiers. You can argue that banning creativity is 'counterproductive' to how the creative kids want the prom to be?

Seriously, as long as no one shows up in gang colors, can't we just call it kids trying to be kids? Unless he straps a claymore into a scabbard and tries to walk in with that, who cares?

Unless, of course, many or most of the other prom-goers already know of his devotion to his Scots heritage and already accept it...especially if he's worn a kilt in their presence afore.

Or maybe he's a fullback or linebacker on the HS football team so it wouldn't really matter anyway.

I wear my kilt quite often...if I could figure out a way that was a pain in the ass on a phone to host and post pics I would.

I guess they'd have a problem with these sissies, too.

SomethingToDo: Canton: Y'know, if he can pull off a kilt (not literally, I'm sure stripping is out of the question), more power to him. Traditional Scottish garb? Awesome! Just so long as he leaves his sgian-dubh at home...

Deal's off, sassenach.

I know your tongue is firmly in cheek, but I'll just reference this.

If I remember correctly, a guy from my high school (a class or two above me) did attend his prom in a kilt. No traditional knife, as far as I know, but still, he did in fact pull it off, and the school was okay with it. And I did attend public school in a rather Christian conservative area. Go figure.

//May kilts be tolerated, and the asinine zero-tolerance policies be kept in mind lest even more asinine things happen to this kid.

I don't think a kilt falls into the bizarre category, but rather just doesn't fit the dress code.

I fully expect that if the kid gets denied by the school board, the next story we'll be hearing about is a lawsuit.

You can wear a kilt to a white tie event. There is no dress code in the world that can exclude a kilt for not being "formal".

Perhaps the school would prefer he show up dressed in Thomas Gainsborough's Blue Boy outfit?
How manly.

It's an iconic outfit, and every time I see it my heart swells with pride for Mr Connery's balls wearing it.

TheOmni: but since I wear a solid black kilt (a few different models of Utilikilts) without a tartan it is often mistaken for a skirt

Are you sure it isn't the heels and not the kilt that are throwing people off?

_{(I keed, I keed)}

TheOmni: I find the whole argument that a kilt is masculine and not a skirt oddly annoying. It seems to kind of accept the claim that men need to dress as men as valid and then simply focus on what is or is not something for a man. The insistence on "dressing like a man" is based on the idea that it's demeaning or degrading for a man to be dressed as a women because of the underlying belief that it is degrading or demeaning to be a woman. Kilts are generally considered to be masculine clothing, but since I wear a solid black kilt (a few different models of Utilikilts) without a tartan it is often mistaken for a skirt. Most people realize it's a kilt when I mention it to them, but a rare few insist it's still a skirt and seem almost upset when I don't care. Heck, if I found a skirt that fit me, had reasonable pockets, and looked good I'd be comfortable wearing that. But there's this crazy and hugely popular notion that it's wrong for a man to wear clothing that's traditionally considered to be women's clothing. And I don't like that.

I don't think it's that uncommon for the name of a garment to change when the garment is changed from men's wear to women's wear or vice versa, and it's usual for the clothing to be changed.

Let's take a kilt/skirt as an example. A garment starting somewhere around the waist, ending somewhere between the crease of the ass and the ground, wrapping around both legs (undivided).

You might as well give a different name to the base garment pattern as designed for men and the garment pattern as designed for women, because you've got fundamental structural differences from the get-go.

By the time you turn a tailor or seamstress loose making the garment, whether the garment is for a man or for a woman is going to influence the garment's structure and construction considerably.

With women, you frequently frill a skirt all the way around. You may cut it to hang flat or tailor it flat in the front, or not.

The kilts I've seen have been structured very carefully in the front with the weight of the material and the geometry of how it's put together so that if the guy gets an erection he would really have to be farking huge to embarrass himself.

Most skirts have no such protection. An erection under a skirt would be as obvious as Mr. Happy under a thin sheet on a summer morning before you wake up. :-)

So no, there's really no reason at all for men not to wear skirts if they find them comfortable and practical......

As someone who lives about 15 miles from there, and is of Scottish descent..I'm not getting a kick..

A kilt, as seen on Sean Connery earlier, can be a very formal clothing choice. I find it really disturbing
that it isn't viewed as such. It has been used as formal attire for quite some time and is definitely
acceptable in government/diplomatic/royal functions around the world.

And let's not forget...



I'm sure he is wearing pants under there, but a cassock does have a skirt, so technically...
