    Bought my husband his first modern kilt!!

    Back in October, we went to Stone Mountain Highland Games and it was my husband's first time wearing a kilt (1740s great kilt). As we don't see kilts where we live, EVER, he was very apprehensive. But meeting up with other kilted gents and discussing it, he decided he liked tactical kilts and the casual tartan ones.

    So, as time has passed and we just never got back around to getting him one, I figured it would be a great surprise for his birthday today! I bought him the 5.11 TDK in dark olive (photo attached), and it should arrive today via UPS in just enough time for me to get home and wrap it. Wish me luck!! I hope he loves it and feels manly and tough!!

    5.11 kilts are nearly indestructible. I wear them to work (im a contractor ) . They wash well. Just do not use fabric softener. It ruins teflon coating. They seem to be cut a little small.

    Can we see the outcome, please?
    If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

    looks indestructible. 5.11 knows what they are doing and they are a great tactical brand!
