*chanting* KILT KILT KILT KILT KILT KILT KILT KILT KILT

:happy: Yay for Fest and kilts!!!!

...hmmm...I haven't a sporin to speak of (I don't know that I want to look that poor this year ;)...& I don't know if I have a period shirt for that...but I have several things to shuffle through...am I to take the chanting as a sign that I should not wear pants, nor cover my knees? 'cause I DO have a very savage outfit that needs very little work done to it.

I very much enjoy a man in a kilt, but savage sounds like lots of fun too... What pattern/color is your kilt? I have lots of material for shirts maybe I have something that would work...

I have patterns for a few different kinds... I think... it can't be too hard... I do love teaching myself new things... I don't have a surger(sp?) though... I could always do a rolled hem to finish.

Got it (I think):

Can some point me to the right places to look like either one of the two in this picture:

Boots would be the key thing.

The Man in Black, all I would need (optional) is blue contacts.

I would need a wig for the Master swordsman, as my hair looks like this when it grows out that long:

Fortunately, not that grey yet. :tongue:

That was my plan for last Halloween... damn this whole "money" thing! hehe

I need to add more to the costuming. Most of my costuming centered around characters in my campaigns (a doctor who was a medic in WW-I for a 1936 game, A Dr. Quest-like character for a game set in 1948, and a cyberpilot for a multi-genre game.)

Needless to say, any combination of the above may make me still out like a sore thumb...lol

Now as to the boots...

I have a pattern for a pirate type shirt. It's either a Butterrick or Simplicity pattern. I believe you can still find the pattern at Joann fabrics. A friend sewd mine.

Silvermane has a nice pirate boot for $119 Pirate Boots and I am talking to a lady on the east coast who says she sells an identical boot for $69.

    • I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.

    • ~~~~~ Yeah, thank you for the check-in.   Happy to say it was all a misunderstanding.  But she pulled out her "ghetto" and that's when things went South.  I get very professional minded when I enter into situations like that because when someone starts bring the court into conversations, I'm in court 2 times a year, every year, so don't go there with me because I will get legal all over you.   She did try to change what she thought she might have said, but I had to call her on it because it's all in written text.  Then she apologized and we were able to have a decent conversation.   I know I joke about me talking so much that people don't hear what I say except for keywords that they are looking for, but that is exactly what happened here.  She heard "payment", "money" and "help out".  It was crazy.  I literally had to have the entire conversation all over again, but I definitely condensed it to only address those 3 words.   Things are back on track, but I emphasized that if she every needed clarification for anything, please say something first instead of jumping to conclusions, then questioning that conclusion, then answering that conclusion, then getting upset at the answer and taking it out on someone who doesn't have a clue what the San Juan Hill just happened.   But this is exactly the reason I do everything with a paper trail.
