Sport Kilts etc

[scoutniagara]

I've said it before and to prove a point, I wore my SK "works" Loch Ness to a semi-formal Scottish Rite gathering of the SOKS. No one but my fellow SOKS members, would have known that it wasn't an expensive wool kilt. My belt covered the logo. I wear my four SKs (tan cotton/poly, two tartan poly/vis and a hiker) around town all the time, in fact, I wouldn't wear anything else for shopping, walking the dog, after cycling... Around the house, I wear "wraps" (like what is marketed as a shaving kilt) that I've made. Why would I need to sit on pleats around the house?

CCK (MacHummel) is making my next poly/vis Maple Leaf, but after that, SWK's black shadow heavy-weight wool kilt is on my list. At the moment, they don't have my size.

Also, I have a SWK MacTavish in poly/viscose that I think looks great and wore to our last SOKS night. I reserve my 13 oz. hunting MacIntosh for formal and family gatherings.

Best wishes on your choice.

Thanks for that! I like SK, and feel a deep sense of gratitude to them for getting me into a kilt in the first place. I now own three SKs, one of which is a "works," a few UK originals, and a non-wool black watch or unknown provenance (but bought from an X-Marker, thanks!).

For someone still trying to sort out where he likes the waist to fall, or someone who lives in the hot & sweaty Mid-Atlantic (in the summer), or someone with a baby that (sorry, folks, it just happens) spits up on your kilt just about every other day, you can't beat an SK; at least that's my current thinking.

That said, of course, my wish list is as long as my arm, and it will take a while to get through it at its current length! And who knows, when I get those more expensive kilts on my list (and the little one is a little less gross), maybe those SKs will just be for gardening and housework, but not yet.
