A plush Scotsman with a fiery red beard, tartan hat and red checkered kilt that rides on your hips: that is the Scotsman step-in costume for men. The step-in costume is a pair of trousers you step into, so it looks as if the little Scotsman is carrying you on his shoulders. This gag works at a themed party, a costume party, or an ugly party, and the costume is intended for men.
What is the Scotsman step-in costume made of?
The Scotsman step-in costume is made of 100% polyester and consists of the trousers, so you wear a shirt underneath yourself.
- The kilt has a red checkered pattern with black, white and yellow lines, with a black band and a white upper body above it.
- On the front hangs a small black bag with white dots, like a Scottish sporran.
- The plush doll has an orange beard, big eyes and a hat made of the same red checkered fabric, with little arms and hands that grip around your hips.
- At the bottom, two beige plush legs with black shoes dangle, so the illusion of riding on is convincing.
- The trousers are not washable, so stick to airing them and carefully dabbing at stains.
Scottish folklore as a costume theme
The checkered kilt is the best-known part of Scottish Highland dress, where each checkered pattern traditionally belongs to a family or region. The bag at the front is called a sporran and originally served as a replacement for trouser pockets. At costume parties, you will come across two variants: a real kilt that you wear yourself, and a funny step-in costume like this one, where the Scotsman is a doll. If you mainly want laughing faces and videos at the party, then choose the step-in version, because it immediately stands out in a large group.
Making the Scottish look complete and recognizable
Wear a plain dark shirt or polo shirt under the trousers, then all attention will remain on the plush Scotsman and the red kilt. A checkered hat or scarf in the same colors makes the theme even clearer, and tall socks fit well with the Highland image. If you are going with a group, then combine this costume with carriers of a real kilt, so that you form a Scottish procession together.
