It gives great mobility, air circulation and good enough for the Roman's and Scots. Should we bring it back?

      My husband wore his family plaid to our wedding and it’s the one thing people who were there remember, five years later. Not the “Steel Magnolias” reception theme on which I worked so hard. Not the exquisite chicken piccatta. Not our hired DJ being stoned off his gourd and playing rap during the meal.

      That’s why you have a sporran as well. Handy bag/pocket with dangly bits. Who doesn’t love some dangly bits to scare away your enemies.

        Is there some sort of cargo pants equivalent?

          No reason you can’t wear a sporran with cargo pants but you really want the freeing elements of a kilt.

            I was thinking the sporran equivalent of cargo pants, like, 2 sporrans I guess?

            Ah, I haven’t played that but I heard it was good.

            I think I even have a copy I got from a Steam Sale or a Humble Indie Bundle or something, so many games I need to play haha.

              I’ve completed the free dlc too and it’s great, though I can promise it’ll be frustrating haha

    It worked well in combat with blades, but I don’t think it works quite well in combat with guns. Plated pants would be more effective, I think, though adding a plated skirt to obfusicate the silhouette of the soldier may be effective as well.

      I know this is a common misconception about the states, but I actually don’t have to wear ballistic clothing unless I find myself in Los Angeles for some reason. I’m generally far more concerned with what the weather is doing.

    I see kilts on the regular in the PNW. Not every day, but if I leave the house often enough usually a few a month. Plenty of stores specifically for those out here too.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be nice

Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a “credible” source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it’s non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don’t care if you’re Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don’t want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how “open source” and “easy to find” it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody’s art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art’s source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a “haha people that I hate died… haha” punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don’t be an idiot.
