    Kilts in Carlisle U.K.

    There's been a music festival in Carlisle over the weekend - featuring various celeb bands from both sides of the pond. I've never seen so many kilts being worn about the place - mostly by youngish guys. Cammo kilts seem to be pretty popular although, traditional tartans are the mainstay. It's really good to see the kilt becoming more and more commonly adopted for leisure wear - although I'm sure there'll be some purists who disagree.
    Perhaps the sheer style and practical benefits of the kilt as well as the chance to wave goodbye to jeans with everthing is being realised..
    There's no rehearsal - this is it.

    That's great news.
    We have at least one member of this forum who lives in Carlisle and who regularly wears a kilt. I am a volunteer at the air museum at Carlisle Airport where I sometimes wear my Royal Air Force tartan kilt. Its good to hear there were lots more kilts out and about in Carlisle today.

    Better to be looked over than overlooked. Cock your hat, angles are attitudes.
