I'm going to a wedding abroad at the end of the month & travelling by plane, what's the best way of taking a kilt outfit? On the plane in a suit carrier (is that allowed?) or just chuck it all in a case?
Anytime i've gone abroad with a kilt before i've been wearing it on the plane but i want to keep it looking smart for the wedding & i've got the jacket etc to take too.
cheers for the suggestions

My dad has a sort of cylinder bag which he rolls his kilt up and puts it, think he got it from the kilt shop in Musselburgh. When I've been abroad with Scotland I just lay it flat in my case.

Sorry for bringing this old thread up but I actually found it whilst searching for "taking a kilt on a plane" on Google. This and a thread on Kickback are both in the top 4 results
Anyway, I'll be travelling via plane to two weddings this year. Firstly, a friend's wedding in London and then my sister-in-law's wedding in Portugal. I'm planning on wearing my kilt to both (though probably not the full outfit in Portugal due to the heat). The Portugal trip should be fine as we have booked hold luggage but we are just doing carry-on luggage on the trip to London. I've got a kilt roll and I think it'll fit in my carry-on luggage.
However, I realise the sgian dubh will be a big 'no-no' in carry-on but I read on the Kickback thread that airport security will likely confiscate the kilt pin as well. Anybody else had an issue with this?

I went to London for an awards ceremony in December, and left my kilt pin behind to be on the safe side. A colleague took their kilt pin saying they'd never had a problem, and sure enough he got the tap of the shoulder at security on the return leg, and had a 20 minute row with them about whether he could return home with it

Sorry for hijacking but,
When wearing a kilt with the Argyle Jacket and a waistcoat - do you wear a belt as well?

It's bad form to wear a belt with a waistcoat. You should also leave the bottom waistcoat button undone.

If you would rather wear a belt, go for it.

The thing that is stupid is that surely there must be women go through wearing brooches all the time. Similar sort of item.
I might try to get a cheapo one so it doesn't matter if it's taken off me.
