S Kilts [http://www.skilt.co.uk]

These [except for the skarong] look like an amalgam of design ideas from UKs, Alpha Kilts, AKs, and Union Kilts. The movable pocket idea is interesting and the kilts have a tailored look.
Some of the fabric choices are, uh, unusual, innovative.

The skarong? I think it's pretty skary . . .

Does anyone here have experience with this guy? The clearance kilts aren't a bad price.

Well, more competition on the market is a good thing as far as I'm concerned, but I see nothing that makes me want to buy one. For that price, I think I'd be happier with a UK or an Alpha.

There's a part of me that really likes the animal prints.

Regards,

Tartan kilts were ... often attached to an old fashioned cultural snobishness of "Do you have the right to wear that tartan?"
That's odd. I don't think I've ever met anyone who wears a kilt proclaim it is for Scots only. The only people I've heard say that are non-kilt wearers who might challenge your "right". Kilt wearers just say "Wear it proudly!"

Aldisimo, I agree. That skarong is just wrong...

I dunno.

I think the Skarong in a different pattern or color would be cool out camping or some of the events I go to.

I am seriously digging the Black on Black Flock Big Cat Safari.
I would most definitely wear that one.

I am impressed by the details they seem to put into their product and the clarity of the photos. Other vendors could learn a thing or two from that website.

Best regards,

Jake

Wear something like that skarong out camping, and you better hope you don't hear banjo music!

Almost-kilts and wannabe-kilts are not my personal cup of tea, but, hey . . . what do I know? And, I don't care what anyone else wears.

But you know me, traditionalist--for the most part--and not likely to do anything really weird at my age. But then the kids think I'm pretty weird when I wear a tank, sporran, and balmoral.
