Alchemist Belle 93666 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Personally, I'm thrilled CowBOY Action Shooting has a broad acceptance of Hollywood interpretation and historical accuracy when it comes to costuming. Otherwise, I would be completely excluded from the sport given that I have no intention to dress like a BOY. ;-) I'm 100% woman, thank you very much. So, where does that leave me? Well, I'm Branchwater Jack's wife. The one with the steampunk Rogue costume. I suppose it's the age gap between me and a majority of the sport, because no one at events has ever seen that outfit as anything but a saloon girl. Which is fine, because the detail and homage are there for *me*. As for the steampunk aspect, I rest my case at The Wild Wild West tv show. I adored Jim, Artemus, & the flamboyance of their world when watching westerns with my Daddy as a child. That show was my treat amongst his preference for John Wayne and Clint Eastwood. So, to get back around to the original point, kilts are fine and dandy for much the same reasons. There is historical & cinematic provenance to comply with SASS rules. Soldier on, boys!

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hi Folks, I really don't mind when folks wear costumes appropriate to the 1800s in other countries (including kilts), or Steampunk (I see that as something a Victorian might wear to a period masquerade ball), or the most basic within the rules. About the clothing from other countries, when someone came to the US it is reasonable to think that they brought their country of origin's ethnic clothing with them and wore that clothing somewhere. It is as believable as those of us who wear Victorian bathing suits (guilty), striped prison garb...to shoot in. I'm just sick of seeing "Outlawed" items worn and allowed. Carry on... (nicely) Regards, Allie Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 We need to remember that local clubs are free to apply the dress code as they see fit for monthly matches. They are more in tune with what their shooters want, and need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Coles SASS 1188 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 We allow a guy to shoot dressed up in a jack in the box head and no one says a thing, but folks will argue against a kilt? Get real. Wearing a period piece of clothing should not be an issue. Its OK in the rules and if folks don't like it they shouldn't wear a kilt themselves.

Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Like long sleeve T-shirts with logos on the back and sleeves. While watching some vids, I noticed a very well known shooter wearing such a shirt at a match. Was it a match? Were there relaxed dress codes in place for summer months??? I mean come on...I've never seen any sponsor logos on the back and sleeves of anyone at a standard SASS match. Show me. Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom My first thought was a relaxed dress code (we do it here a couple of times a year when the temps are extreme (cold or hot). But in the example I gave it was summer and the shooter was wearing a black long sleeve shirt and it was a monthly match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there was a relaxed dress code as other's had on t-shirts. It get's real hot and muggy in some places and that's the way we roll sometimes. I think it's being a bit disingenuous to portray this happening at "Standard" SASS matches. Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
