For light weight , you couldn't beat the 5.11 Tactical Kilt, or the Mountain Hardwear hiking kilt. Both are now seemingly discontinued, or at least only rarely made available. I have two of the 5.11's, but they feel really bulky on like they used way more fabric in the pleats than needed. The weigh...

Agree with this. Mine is an offbrand Amazon 511 knock-off and I've loved it for almost a decade

It's certainly heavy when I've got my phone, wallet etc packed in there. Unloaded it's lighter than a regular kilt.

Yeah, when I found out about my family tree and the connection to Shetland, I went down something of a rabbit hole regarding the islands and the history of the kilt so I know the "kilt rules" are nonsense. I wear them as generic legwear and don't claim any clan allegiance, although my dad ...

Had my first encounter with someone I knew from before I started wearing skirts yesterday. Mini skirt, striped purple & black tights and low heeled ankle boots was the outfit of choice. He was an acquaintance of my other half more than myself and neither of us had set eyes on him for 20 years up...

As others have said, I've gotten a fair smattering of compliments from men while kilted. I had assumed it would be the men who would wonder if I had undies on but as a rule it's the women who ask that while the guys either ask if I'm cold or start giving me stories of the old country and their youth...

I have quite a few tsrtanista and Scottish kilt co £20 jobbies from Amazon and I use them for daily wear. It's a bit small for me after a bit of lockdown spread but I also have a hybrid kilt that's rather awesome - alternating black and Stewart tartan panels. It's a bit gothy but that's my look as a...

Lol I agree completely! My other half bought me my utilikilt for my 40th. I've also never really bought into the machismo thing, if anything is the antithesis of what I try to do with my life but I like wearing it and all my tartan kilts despite - and maybe if I'm honest - because of the testosteron...

Darn! When I saw the product title and then description I was thinking - oooh a knee / above knee length skirt with cargo pockets and a hammer loop - sort of like if you took a pair of construction pants and converted them into a skirt. What you've described there is a utilikilt. Can't recommend th...

Fascinating idea. Will have to have a look and see if they're sold in the UK. My firstborn was delivered by C-section and I had to Don scrubs to sit in with mom while they delivered him. On the way to theatre I was mistaken for staff by a passing nurse. I'm sure my denial wasn't awkward for her but ...

They are great fun to wear but will take off like a parachute if I'm not careful. Ohhh I have a horror story about that. One of the first times going public in a kilt, a petting farm in Skegness, Lincolnshire, UK. I was right in front of the restaurant and an updraft caught it. Flashed everything t...

I experimented a bit last winter going bare legged (ankle-length socks, of course) in the winter - I think down to 20 was about as much as I could take. I should keep closer track of this. What gave me courage was seeing women at church on Sunday during the winter - most would cover up one way or a...

He turned it the other way and moved to Westminster

Out in Cheddar yesterday saw someone wearing a print dresss and tights/ stockings. That's reminded me. There's a student in a town near us that always wears Gothic style dresses which look great. I'm aware if the website he buys them from from my own research and shopping habits. Waiting for a nice...

Normal is overrated. Love the skirt. Welcome!

Crocs though??
