Skirt Cafe is an on-line community dedicated to exploring, promoting and advocating skirts and kilts as a fashion choice for men, formerly known as men in skirts. We do this in the context of men's fashion freedom --- an expansion of choices beyond those commonly available for men to include kilts, skirts and other garments. We recognize a diversity of styles our members feel comfortable wearing, and do not exclude any potential choices. Continuing dialog on gender is encouraged in the context of fashion freedom for men. See here for more details.

Gee, that wasn't political now was it?
One thing that wasn't mentioned, where tartan came from, in any sense of the word.
Steve.
Huh?
Given that a kilt is a garment inextricably linked to Scotland, I’m guessing that Stevie is alluding to the fact that there’s probably no mention of this history in the video (I haven’t seen it and have no interest in it). Would that be right, Stevie?
By the way, and for general information, Scottish people are referred to as Scots, not Scotch. The latter is an alcoholic beverage.

The video is from an American company selling a new tarten that they will make into a kilt for you. Their YouTube channel has plenty of Scottish content, since they are showing what they are selling has Scottish roots and therefore is authentic and therefore you should buy it.......
By not watching the video you have no chance of being sold this new kilt, so you have sadly missed out on this buying opportunity....

A perfectly authentic word from the sponsors anyway.

Missing out on buying an American kilt?
I’m gutted!
Probably more kilts in daily wear in America than Scotland Ray.
Steve.

Not everyone can afford a "Proper" kilt
At least they're being worn by men who are discovering the freedom of a skirted garment
