    Denim Kilt

    Okay -- recognising that it would be more along the lines of a utilikilt than a regular kilt in the purest sense, my wife wants to get me a denim kilt. (Last I checked there wasn't a denim tartan ). Can anyone recommend a resource where I can get one made/ bought off the rack etc etc

    Thanks in advance

    Tony

    Don't think UK makes them anymore.

    IF you happen to be my former size I have a previously loved UK blue denim in my closet - well broken in and soft. 42" waist 21 1/2" length. Copper snaps (no waist snaps) UK logo in copper thread on right rear pocket. Jean rivets on the cargo pockets and back pockets. For sale.

    You might look at Flamingo Kilts.
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

    Scotweb also has a line in denim kilts – five-yarders and eight-yarders, with a choice between blue and orange/yellow stitching.

    Thanks everyone. I setled on Alt.Kilt and fired off an email to them this morning. I want to get it before mid September as I will be moving (to British Columbia!) and want to wear it during the long drive. I'm excited on both counts

    BTW - -my wife is the best for wanting me to get what will be kilt number 5!
