Cheap? Less than $50 or so. But I'm a cheapass when it comes to clothes. Got to thinking about it while looking at the Utilikilt site, might be nice for fishing tournaments. My nuts are always sweating like a hog. |

I've seen kilts go on ebay for 50 bucks. New and used. Never bought one, though, since my tartan isn't all that common. |
|||
|
I would wear a kilt every freakin day if I knew what my colors were. I wear shorts every day as it is and commando is the common theme. Christ if I found a kilt to wear the wife would turn me into more of a toy than I already am. Where does one find the colors?
ETA For the love of Pete........ Ever since she became a member I can't get anything done right!!!!!!! |
|
What's your clan, if you have one. If not, there are numerous other colors people may wear. Many schools have their own colors. Military branches have their own. Fire, police Dept's, etc etc as well. Heck, even most states have a tartan. |
|
|
I wear my Clans tartan kilt proudly in public whenever I get a chance.
|
|
I have to be honest, i have 2 kilts. Niether one tradition. I got both of em from Utilikilts, they are great and the ladies like em too
|
|
Yes, I'm scottish, and only with the family colors/plad and tartan
|
|
No, because I am not Scottish. They also don't have any advantage over BDU shorts.
|
|
Yes. I've worn one many times. And if you don't have a specific family tartan, you can always wear one of the more "generic" tartans, such as the Black Watch, if you prefer.
edited: And be sure to go regimental. also, make sure you lace your brogues correctly. That is, if you wear them. |
|
I'm not a Scot, and I'm not a woman so not only no, but HELL no.
And by "Scot" I mean someone from Scotland, not some goofy American with an identity crisis and a relative who might've perhaps once lived in Scotland. |
|
If it were the style, sure. Around here, no, because I would look really weird.
|
|
Since I am a Scot of course I've worn one, what else would you wear when you get married, I even went to Scotland to do the deed.

That's the nice thing about www.utilikilt.com/ ya don't need to wear any fancy colors, just a nice looking Kilt that is suitable for day to day wear. I'd like to research my family's history & see what tartan they had. Course since I've also been a SP and a fireman could wear those tartans as well. |

|
Thats close to mine. Mine is the McKinley - or the old spelling MacKinlay: Hey - anyone know when it says "MacKinlay Dress" does that mean it is a plaid for womens dresses - or it is a special dress pattern for either formal events or competition |
|
|
If I was of Scottish descent , sure. I am not, so it would just be an American in a dress.
I love bag pipes and such, But I couldn't pull it off. |
|
My Irish relatives were so far back you couldn't see it with binoculars, and my accent isn't Irish, but more South Georgia, so no, I don't think I could pass off a kilt.
|
|
There are different tartans. Hunting, dress, ancient, etc. It is a different variation of the tartan for different purposes. Usually people where "dress". |
||
|
Unless it's your heritage, yes it is. |
||
|
You obviously have NO idea how much female tail you can get in a kilt. BTW, if anyone wants info on kilts, IM me. I can pass on info about family tartans, cheap (like $45.00) kilts that are good quality, and any other information you want. |

I hear the updraft can be refreshing
A Kilt is not ever going to be in my selection for daily wear |
|
I'm part Scots--Clan MacPherson; of COURSE I'd wear a kilt!!
Of course my great(x2) grandfather was a Kelly from Ireland, so I have two to choose from. |
|
Have a friend in Chicago born and raised in the town of Limerick. He married an American stew and emigrated. He still goes back to the auld sod a couple of times a year to go pub crawling with his mates! Ostensibly he is there to visit his mum. |

|
Fuck ya, I'd do it. Matter of fact, if I can get one before the 20th, I'll wear one to Swingset's shoot.
|
|
I'm not tough enough to wear a kilt. Otherwise I'd be all over it.
|
|
You mean the sissy skirt thing? No thanks.
If we got had some sort of "Dies the Fire" thing happen and I lived up north, I'd wear a great plaid/great kilt/scottish plaid (whatever you want to call it) that was actually useful, but the skirt thing? No way. Hell, part of me thinks it it got popular after the early 1800's to signify how the brits (I roll up the english, limeys and scots as "brits") kept getting fucked, so they might as well make it easy for everyone. |

I feel that they are perfect drunk-wear, while bare. I never noticed any skid marks, because the shirt which I was wearing around my waist (through the neck hole) while hammered, wasn't mine. I left it on their floor when I left the next day. I still don't know what happened to my clothes, but I like to think that I was gang raped by hot milfs! I was told a couple weeks later that the shirt I was "wearing" as a kilt belonged to a very uptight person who lived there, and it was his favorite shirt, from a place he used to work and he was very proud of having worked there... I wonder how many beer farts ended up in that thing? |

Only if my name were Duncan McCloud. |

If you're not already, you need to let your facial hair grow out and get a chopped up haircut like the ones seen in Braveheart. Then work on your accent... That would be pretty funny. |

I have 5 that I wear frequently. 2 family tartans, 1 Black Watch that I made myself, 1 survival utilikilt, and 1 around the house casual one.
To those that say they are not manly. Almost every culture in history has had some form of male garment that was not bifurcated ie. pants. The domestication of the horse typically is where historians say pants became normal attire for men. I find that I am very comfortable in a kilt. The only uncomfortable part is when others make a big deal out of it. I typically ignore it and move on. Someone asked about a pistol that will fit in a sporan. I can assure you that a G19 will fit in some sporans. |
|
Because I wear a kilt pretty often (I play in a bagpipe band), I actually took an old crossbreed, took off the clips, trimmed it, and attached it in a sporran, and carry my 1911. It took a little adjustment to offset the weight, but it works well. |

|
Funny. This thread made me dig back through some family lineage. I had completely forgot the fact that I had one Grandmother whose maiden name was Wallace. So, maybe I would wear one. FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!! |

|
Yup...I just quickly picked one for our heathen brothers. Would have taken too long to describe all of them. |

|
I hate reading my quoted text and realizing I typed "where" for "wear". Man. |

|
