WooHoo Its Time to Go Gothic

I'd always fancied one of those goth style kilts while I am still young enough to carry that look, now that I have managed to slim down to a size 38 waist I can fit into the largest available size.

This is the Black Goth/Punk Utility Kilt from Dead Threads. It bears a similarity to one of the varieties of Tripp kilts available on the US market. There are two conventional belt loops and two criss cross belt loops with metal attachments. Two large cargo pockets also with lots of metalware. The kilt fastens at the front, offset to the right, using velcro and a zipper which fastens from the top down and will take a bit of getting used to. Length is 23 and a half inches.

The obligatory pleats shot, shallow sort of box pleats and also showing the two conventional belt loops at the back.

Now there's a truly unique kilt. Very cool!

Yeah, I like that.

Looks good Alex. The zipper is an interesting way to control the apron (down for heavy wind,...up for light breeze.)

You look good fella

A few too many snaps & buckles for me though

You say a 38 was the largest? I suppose that can be accounted to the target market. But hay, if enough of us older fellows get into them the maker will come around. What do you think?
