My next few kilts are something I have given a lot of though to.

Next kilt, for sure, will be from Rocky. I am hoping to get a Great Kilt from him. Unsure of which tartan. I wish he had Ancient Douglas. Black Watch is a strong possibility. How would a Black Watch Great Kilt look? Would it be respectful and proper to that tartan? ...............................
Hi D-N-M,

Excuse me asking this question, but I am curious as to when or where you would wear your Breacan-Feile, or great kilt?

This style of kilt, in this day and age, really is a piece of historical costuming totally unsuited to modern wear. It is also somewhat bulky and uncomfortable! Perhaps you are a member of a historical re-enactment society or attend Ren-Faires (something we do not have here in the United Kingdom), in which case I can see why you might want one.

To wear it to a 'dressy' formal function would be inappropriate since it is essentially a very casual garment.

I am not questioning your wish to wear one - I, myself, had one several years ago but, having absolutely no events to which I could wear it, I cut it in half and had one of the halves made into a very nice 'small' kilt. It's just that I am interested.
Winter wear. Mostly. Seems practical.

More men should wear them.
