I guess if I were eating Taco Bell a lot, was in the middle of tactical ops constantly and had no inclination as to where or when...

It's neat, I just don't see myself wearing one. (And you should probably be grateful.)

I have several kilts, ranging from my formal Prince Charlie outfit ($ 2000) to some more informal and SportKilts.  These look to be a good price, so I am pondering it.

For the love of Spork, if you people must wear kilts, keep them ON! Do not take your kilt off!

I'll wait till Kilted To Kick Cancer and send my money to them.

I've seen a picture of my father all dressed up in some Highlander dress rig during WWII, and am also aware that I inherited his legs among other features.  Kilts apparently 1) do not come in floor-length, and 2) should if I were to wear one.

stay safe.

I thought so. However it's a mild one, since there already were several makers of Utilikilts or cargo-pocket modern kilts. And I think 5.11 might have gotten a lot of requests and made a real product from it.

It was.  And it created such a stir, that they had a limited production run of them, which sold out rather quickly.

one.

And I'm in "not a penny of spending" mode waiting on the new house closing.   :facepalm:

I've been looking for a new kilt.  If a "coyote" colored 5.11 was available in my size I'd get one today. 

For an even less expensive kilt check out:  www.utkilts.com.  Good quality, great price, lots of pockets.

I might have to grab one of the 5.11's. I like the idea of a non traditional kilt, but keep balking at the cost of Utilikilts. I could stomach ~$80 on a lark.

They need some 5.11 lederhosen or bundhosen for the German ancestry. Not everyone wants to wear a skirt.  [popcorn]

Not that weird. Scots tended to be independent, fierce warrior folks who (in the romantic versions) got steamrolled and absorbed in to the "civilized" English.  Wonder why American gunnies resonate with that story.

Add in that the folks on that island, and later in the colonies, inter bred enough that almost every white american has at least one kilt wearing ancestor and poof! Instant heritage.

Besides kilts are comfy.  (I gave in and ordered one. :D)

kilts are like funny hats

10 minutes after putting one on, you forget you are wearing it and then you wonder why the folkes in walmart are pointing at you...

No Scot in my ancestry and the European roots have been in N. America since the early 1600's.

I do have two pairs of Bundeshosen that I brought back from Germany, sadly they have shrunk over the years.   Used to wear them all the time in the spring and fall.
