I've been looking into getting a kilt skirt, not like a mens 8 yard kilt but more like the ladies, although knee length and shaped for a man. The latter is of course why a ladies kilt wouldn't work. Less yardage and possibly lighter/not 100% wool. Many kiltmakers of course are very precious about deviating from traditional kiltmaking, perhaps understandably. Especially if for a man.
On the flip side those "casual" kilts mass produced are rubbish, not comfortable and don't hang properly.
Has anyone tried it. Had any luck?
Kilt skirt for men
Re: Kilt skirt for men
The "Mass Produced" kilts I wear are from Still Water Kilts.com
as they fit quite nicely, and easy to care for. Toss them in
the washing machine, but HANG THEM TO DRY **
American made in Minnesota, NOT PAKISTAN
** I had one that a single color thread shrank up on me.
Gave a scalloped hem line. All the others are hang dried.

Re: Kilt skirt for men
I'm a bit puzzled 84, "Kilt skirt for men"?
The "kilt" is a skirt for men by it's very nature.
The only difference would really be the side the apron fastens on and the cost, I assume.
That difference may be why the kiltmakers are a bit precious about it.
My advice, you want a kilt, bite the bullet and buy a kilt, end of.
Steve.

And, if you want a skirt, buy a skirt. You can even buy skirts with pleats.
Imagine that.
Why do we make it so difficult?

Re: Kilt skirt for men
That question is further complicated in that it emanates from Scotland.
I wear a kilted pleat skirt regularly and it never gets much comment.
Even this, a blast from the past, which bears even less similarity to any "normal" kilt, is almost invisible.
Fact is, Carl, they are all skirts, but we torture ourselves in semantics.
Could you imagine women insisting that their trousers were slacks, totally slacks and nothing but slacks.
