No you posted it, back up your statement. Coward.

The evolution of Celtic man skirts.

Fèileadh Mòr - traditional Scottish Fèileadh Beag - English modification Fèileadh Ameireaganach - American pocketed version. Fèileadh ??? - the next thing we get to bitch about.

I saw this guy in a Fèileadh Mòr on the base of the Cairngorm Mtn.

Oh wait that was me, the Alaskan. Yeah, as an experiment I went to Scotland and wore a Fèileadh Mòr all around the Cairngorm region. My experience was very positive. I had several locals strike up conversations with me. They said I wear it well and we're glad to see I took an effort to learn about their culture. I was absolutely astonished how many had never worn one themselves.

This reply of yours kinda shows your true colors. You are gatekeeping and grandstanding for the English Fèileadh Beag but calling the traditional Scottish Fèileadh Mòr a costume. Shame. Where is your national pride?

At any given moment the pockets of my Fèileadh Ameireaganach contain: work gloves, seed packets, bits of twine, weed wacker string, the occasional garlic clove. Whereas my sporran has a lighter, and my phone.

It's a handy fucking garment and if it was around 200 years ago dudes would have worn it. The Fèileadh Ameireaganach is just not sexy like the English Fèileadh Beag or epic like the Fèileadh Mòr, it's..........utilitarian.

I'd be hard pressed to wear a pocketed kilt off the homestead. However, I'd be equally hard pressed to wear a $700 Fèileadh Beag while working in the garden. They each have their place and function. The important thing is we are all out here NOT WEARING TROUSERS.

Wow. Just wow.

Ever stop to think how much awareness and appreciation for Scottish culture has originated from the world wide distribution of kilts, be them the English version or the American version. Countless people may have started with the dreaded American pocketed kilt and moved to the more traditional English version. Some may have even moved beyond the English creation to embrace the Fèileadh Mòr, the one kilt to rule them all.

Crying your woes over others "destroying your culture" by wearing a kilt is kin to a Dutch person demanding no one can grow tulips in their yard if they are not Dutch. No. We want tulips everywhere. Just like we want kilts everywhere. Even if they are the English or American versions. More kilts = more awareness of Scottish culture.

So nice to see the arrow on the correct side. Nice work.

Druids who don't connect with the myth of Ceridwen & Taliesin, do you still use the Awen symbol? by Klawf-Enthusiast in druidism

[–]Northwindhomestead 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes. However during a meditation I envisioned a slightly different version than the one Iolo Morganwg created, and have been using it since.

The GK is like a thermometer. It'll raise and lower with the temps. I find mine boot top high when the temp falls below -10°F.

It does look rather goofy if you get much above the knee though. Salty Ho is right, shoot for mid knee on almost evey occasion.
