Hey, it is a "gardening" kilt! I would wear it in the garden.

Pink is now considered to be fashionable and masculine.
At least when it comes to shirts...
But a pink kilt (plain as opposed to being one of the colours in a sett) is certainly ground breaking!

I just finished a rush order for a tank top - in pink - well, he wanted the magenta colour that T Mobile uses - it is for some advertising scheme, - but there was no time for anything but what I had so he got rose pink washed with some blue dye.
Pink is very fashionable at the moment - and it used to be a masculine colour - hunting pink - being 'in the pink' - and any very old pink dress was most likely to be for a boy. My father - born 1918, was in gowns and dresses for the first couple of years of his life until 'breeched' when he was thought old enough to manage to get in and out of shorts by himself.
Some shades of blue were formerly considered to be only apt for girls.
I suspect that it is only in the last hundred or so years that pink for a girl and blue for a boy has become the norm - a hot pink is a reallly vicious colour - I am sensitive to colours - and making the tank top has really got on my nerves. Blue is so sweet and soothing in the lighter shades.
I was trying to think of what a man should wear with a pink kilt - but somehow all I could visualise was a hopeful grin and a bottle of something alcoholic with - probably - bubbles.
Trying really hard results in boots, hat and waistcoat in pale grey sheepskin, with the edges folded back to show the wool.
Somehow I don't think a pink kilt fits in with much contained in many a modern man's wardrobe. It will be interesting to see the end result in all its glory. From a little distance. Close up might be too much for my over pinked nerves, but a view of a Pink Panache in his natural setting might not scrawnch them too much.

I over heard some young ladies at the local mall say "pink is the new black" but I think I will stick to black as the old black.
My main question is how are you going to sleep with the pink glow emanating from your closet at night.
But, I must say I have respect for a man who has enough self confidence to wear a kilt in that bright a pink. My Balmoral is off to you.

Now what you really need is some of Rocky and Kelly's Queen of Scots tartan to set that off.  www.usakilts.com/registered_tartans.php
Maybe inside the pleats or as a plaid.
