So i have a question for the members of this site. I've been looking at kilts lately and I think they're pretty great. Im half Scottish, so it might be the bloodline or whatever. But they're great. I was going to see who agrees with me? Im not talking about the crowd who thinks they look nice as a dress uniform (though I agree it does) but rather to the boys who think its awesome to wear one to a pub or just wherever. Let me know your thoughts on this the most badass of non-bifurcated clothing!

Utilikilts ftw...
I have one. Great on the trails. Girls love 'em... |
|
I see people wearing the Utilikilts. That's the one that people usually wear. A lot of outdoors type people wear them for some reason. Nobody thinks anything of it.

Make sure you wear it at the proper length. Also check out - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0862280176/sergeantchase

I guess it is ok as long as you don't accessorize with stockings and a bustier....
|
|
there is never a question. kilts are ALWAYS appropriate.
just make sure you're fitted correctly. I saw a guy at the gun show a few weeks ago whose kilt was a good two inches ABOVE HIS KNEE. ugh. wear it right or don't wear it at all. |
|
So, let me get this straight.
For a guy to wear a skirt called a "kilt" is manly and cool, but to wear a skirt called a "Japanese schoolgirl outfit" is weird and creepy. |

I am quite familiar with their Round Rock location!

Utilikilts??? No... those are psuedo-kilts at best.
If you're going to wear a kilt, get a formal kilt, measured for you. It will run from your navel to the top of your knees. When I bought mine, it was from Ben Wyvie kilt makers, in Inverness. The sum total of their industry was a cupla ladies, sitting in rocking chairs, hand stitching. That and one guy to get the large bolts of material off the walls. Quality tells... |

Wear pants, consistent with the country and century you're living in, please.

Kilts = Okay
UtiliKilts = Kilt + Pockets = Skirt = Teh Ghey!!! http://www.stillwaterkilts.com/ |

I think kilts are badass but i am not man enough to wear one in public. I do plan on having a scottish wedding but I dont know about doing every day stuff in a kilt.
|
|
when i wear mine, i feel like i'm getting away with something. it's like you got out of the shower, with a towel around you, and just never got around to putting on pants

If you're man enough to fight off rabid gay bashers go ahead. I always liked the look of a kilt but didn't want to either fight constantly or explain why I'm wearing a "skirt". There will always be those who think you're gay for wearing a kilt, Highlanders being the badasses they are/were notwiothstanding.

Gay. Dorky as fuck. Duncan McDork from the clan McDork. |

The kilt is manly attire developed by manly Scottish warriors suitable for smiting English invaders. Kilts are approved!
But wear them right. And if you have some Scots ancestry, find out what clan you're descended from, and get one made with your clan's coat of arms. |

I wonder if any of those in this thread calling kilts gay would call William Wallace gay to his face if he were still around. That could make for some hilarity. |

I thought Arfcom hated multiculturalism. I suddenly thought of Team America when you said that. |

With the rest of the Scot gear a kilt is great. But as the only piece of Scot apparel? Not.

Gay. Dorky as fuck. Duncan McDork from the clan McDork. wow. couldn't have said it better myself. Kilts, Tactikilts, Utilikilts wearers = a bunch of middle-aged tards who are 1/16th scottish or irish at best trying to associate with a nationality and society the have only read about on the internet. Unless you are 100% Scotts with an authentic family pattern, leave the skirts to the wimin. (or as the kilt-wearers call them wymyn ) Kilt guys have one foot in the rennisance faire madness. Grow your beard out, use gaelic toasts when you drink your green beer on St. Patricks day. If you didn't put "Mc" in front of everything, we'd think you were part of the Pirate Fan Club. Face it. you are trying to make something out of your heritage "special" when there was nothing special or noteable about it. |

If you have Scottish or Irish blood in you. Try to find your colors, it makes it even cooler.
|

If you are a genuine sheep shaggin Scot, then yes. Otherwise, poser.
Frankly, we don't have to wear skirts because we beat the English. |

I wouldn't call Thomas Jefferson of George Washington gay to their face either, but I'd sure wonder about someone who wore a powdered wig to social occasions or work TODAY. If someone asks about wearing something TODAY, I don't see how relevant it is how that item was worn hundreds or years ago, in different cultures, or whatever - the question is about wearing it today. What if some of those African dudes with a plate in their lip, or a horn through their nose or whatever, are real bad-asses? Would that make it cool or badass for someone to put a giant plate in their lip? No, it would just make them look like a moron, don't you agree? |

The kilt was not adopted in Scotland until the 16th century, and the "small" kilt (which is what modern kilts are based on), was not adopted in Scotland until the 17th century. Wallace died in at the beginning of the 14th century, literally hundreds of years before kilts were used in Scotland, so I am not sure what point you are trying to make. |

William Wallace didn't wear a kilt, despite what Mel Gibson would have you believe. Kilts date from the 16th century, William Wallace lived well before then, dying in 1305, the 14th century. William Wallace wore pants. |
