Tripp Green Plaid Kilt (UGLY)

[ccga3359]

Even hiked up an inch above my navel it still hits me mid knee, so it's too long. Now who's calling my kilt a skirt?

Exactly. I used the logic presented to make my statement.

The Tripp kilt is bound to be the ideal length for somebody.

Since this is a punk kilt, just cut it to the correct length with a pair scissor

would it be wrong of me to suggest that even when we think we're not kilt snobs...sometimes we really are?

I bought one for my son. Do I consider it a kilt? No. It is a kilt like garment, in my opinion. My son wanted it because it's "cool" and the other kids won't make fun of it. He also wants a solid black wool kilt. I just bought him a Nightstalker SWK. If it means that I won't be getting my Fraser red to get my son kilted, and wearing kilts more often, I'll do without. I felt like the Tripp kilt was a launching point for other kilts. I was hoping to have the money for my Fraser before My Natal day in April. Probably won't happen. But, Gunny will be in an ugly green kilt like garment come St. Patties Day.

To those who feel this way, a question: what exactly makes this NOT a kilt? The pockets and other trappings? The non-woolen fabric? If that's the case, then in your mind Utilikilts, Freedom Kilts, Union Kilts, NeoKilts, etc. etc., are all just "kilt-like garments?"

That's fine with me (my kilts are tartan wool traditional types), I'm just seeking to understand folks' thinking on this, not to prolong the silly "what is really a kilt" debate....

Some people can be. I say state a simple opinion. (i.e: Whether or not you like it.) If you like it, hey that's great. If not, oh well. But don't bash the kilt into the ground. Some people like them. I personally, would consider wearing the black. Yes, I do find the green to be rather hideous, in my humble opinion. Just leave it at that. A simple opinion.

I don't see anyone bashing the kilt into the ground but rather pointing out that 'kilt like' garments are not really kilts. How far does the "neo" kilt thing have to go before everyone agrees that it has gone too far?

I know there are some who would love to put a 3/4 pink fringe all around the bottom of a kilt and still refer to it as kilt and be very offended if anyone spoke unkindly about their decision to customize their "kilt".

I will stick with the basic kilt and the same design that has endured a few hundered years until someone decided to cash in on the idea and design a new fad for those who want to disrupt and shock society with something out of the norm.

With out evolutions and evolvements though, the kilt would die out. It has already evolved considerably, going from a wrapped blanket to a finely tailored garment. From there, it has become what we see today. It is bound to change again.
