AUGH GOD!!!

It's probably more practical to have your legs free.

Little boys used to wear dresses, and then get pants. Pants were a man's thing, a working garment.

TheStig

I'm guessing from the first dudes who rode horses.

Wikipedia tells me that pants have been around since the Paleolithic

They were worn in the cold, by hunters, by warriors

It turns out that as long as people were aspiring to be more like the Greeks and Romans, pants were out of style for the nobility.

People wanted to wear hose instead, and sometimes it didn't cover the crotch, which is what gave us codpieces.

It looks like trousers were always what poor dudes wore.

TheStig

I hope codpieces make a come back.

You would think they would, seeing as how they're used so often in the movies.

AMP'd

probably nswf

the last one is hilarious

facetious

I hope I get to wear a codpiece just once in my life.

Whether it's part of a rennaissance fair type deal or whatever. Just once.

belt buckles are literally the modern codpiece

TheStig

Yeah... pretty much.

Futore

I work with a dude who has a belt buckle that is the large anchor that lays horizontally.

it's actually quite tasteful

Those codpieces are sexy

I'm getting my kilt and stuff for my 21st birthday, but I'm split on the tartan to get.

Specifically, I'm MacDonald of the Isles, but I don't like the look of it as much as MacDonald of Clanranald, which I think would be more wearable, personally.

Should I go with the one I like more, or the one that is more accurate to my roots? I mean, they're both MacDonald...

Donovan Puppyfucker

The Isles. I think it looks better than the Clanranald one. Also, go go historical accuracy, or else why not just pick whatever you want?

Wombat!!

The pictures on the right of Clanranald are inaccurate, only the little one that shows the pattern close up is true to it. It's not as purple as the pictures show.

But yeah, I see your point. I've been leaning more towards Isles the last few weeks, too.

TheStig

I'm sick of seeing t-shirts with pictures of sunglasses on them

that is all.

Donovan Puppyfucker

When you mix the blue and red like that, from a distance it will end up looking purplish.

Wombat!!

We have some blankets in MacDonald print, and my dad's kilt is similar (but without white) and it doesn't blend too bad from distance. I'm just thinking it might be a bit green for the Isles, ya know? Gatta get green flashes, too.

Example of dad's tartan (on graduating me, who doesn't know how to wear a kilt properly yet):

Donovan Puppyfucker

Looks good, but I still think go with the Isles pattern.

Depressperado

never wear a kilt ever, anybody.

Wombat!!

Here are some other isles patterns:

Ancient, Modern, then Hunting Ancient:

@dep: These aren't like, every day utili-kilt bullshits, it's dress wear only type stuff.

That said, Kilts are pretty awesome, especially with socks and sandals.
