> He bought a kilt off the Internet to wear to his school's formal "Silver Arrow" dance in November.
Mistake #1.
> Warmack said he showed it to a vice principal before the dance, who joked he'd better wear something underneath it, and Warmack assured him he would.
Mistake #2.
> Warmack's parents, Terry and Paula, helped him piece together the rest of his outfit, a white shirt and black tie with white socks and black boots.
Mistake #3.
> "We knew it wasn't the formal regalia," his father said. "We wanted it to be acceptable for the occasion."
Mistake #4.
Lesson: Son, if you are going to wear the kilt, do it properly or not at all. And there is no mention of the Sporrin or the Sgean Dubh in your "regalia".
Might as well be wearing a skirt.
Ergo, do not disgrace the Kilt by wearing it as a fashion statement. It isn't Respectful. Scots may take offense.
"Diehard the Hunter"
Looks like the Royal Stuart plaid, which can be worn by any Scotsman who does not have a clan plaid. As I heard it. Also, the last time the kilt was banned was after the Brits decimated the Scots at Culloden in the early 1740s. I think it lasted until Queen Victoria fell in love with Scotland and things Scottish.
Anyone with better info can feel free to correct me.
