If you've ever wondered about the practicalities of kilt-ownership, you'll find my comprehensive guide a must-read. It's available from all good stores now, in issue #64 of Renaissance Magazine.
When I was homeschooling I made my son a kilt when we were studying Scotland and he wore it to a homeschool event where we ate Scottish food and the kids gave reports about what they learned. I loved those aspects of homeschooling!
Not only Scots, anyone with Gaelic ancestry can wear kilts to celebrate their heritage. I enjoyed Investigating my Irish roots to find the correct tartan.
There's also a counterculture kilt movement for those that disdain "bifurcated" garments: http://www.kiltmen.com/
I love wearing kilts. Not only are they very comfortable, but ladies invariably want to know if anything is being worn underneath.
ReplyDeleteIf one is wearing underwear, it's a skirt, not a kilt. :)

ReplyDeleteSo, did you write the article?
A kilt is a must. Living in the Washington (the state) I opted for the heavier 16oz tartan. It's just as comfortable in the summer as it is in winter.
ReplyDeleteI may even look into an apprenticeship since my kilt maker is quiting. I'll have to keep folks posted on that.
Thanks for the great read as always.
I love the look of black tie with kilt. But you have to be from Scotland and not just playing dress-up!
