a TIE DYE KILT

[Martin S]

At last!

The secret has been revealed.

We now know just how Hamish earned enough money to pay for his 77 kilts ...

Obviously a head-working -- and deserving -- lad.

All that hard labour has been well rewarded.

This was my first Utilikilt - a Workmans 'Standard'

Not a kilt but definitely tie-dyed! Purchased at the Portland Saturday Market BEFORE I found my freedom and my senses.

that is an awesome looking shirt!

I wonder if this is the same one? This photo appeared on the Utilikilts Gallery several years ago. Although I have fourteen Utilikilts, I really do not think I could wear one like this - at least, not in public!!

that's not the one i saw. it is a younger guy that wears it. and it has a narrow color palette compared to the above tie-dye. it was just purples and blues on white. in fact, i wonder if it was a homemade job with a white Workman's UK.

Wow, that guy looks like someone from San Francisco from the sixties. Bless that lad, he looks happy, but I'm with Hamish on wearing tie dye kilts. It reminds me of John Lennon painting paisley patterns all over his Rolls Royce.

Yeah, right Mark!

(Besides, it's a rainbow boa not a tie-dye one. We cannot mix our tartans, y'know!!!)

Hmmm . . . a tie-dyed boa . . . interesting thought . . .

Remember to pleat to the pineapple and always have fun.

Now if I knew how I could put in a photo of my nursery curtain kilt - pleated kinguisse style, with the lionsses and effelants an hippipussimusses, on a jungly sort of background.

Early experiment, but lots of fun. Just the thing for the beach.

Graham, glad you like my car! Really, I am a part owner. Business man Jim Pattison bought the Rolls for Expo 86 in Vancouver and then donated it to the people of British Columbia. I'd invite you for a ride but there are 1,987.652 other owners ahead of me.

I have a shirt like that

A tropical print in a heavy rayon fabric would be more fitting for a Hawaiian themed kilt. Tie dye isn't necessarily Hawaiian.

It is possible to find heavy rayon in tropical prints in the 10 to 13 ounce range. I'm thinking that would make a pretty decent kilt for hot weather actually, seeing as how they use that stuff in tropical locations to make skirts, pants, suit jackets, and everything else.

Looking around I did see a place that that had 3 different island themed kilts now just have to wonder where i seen it.

SportKilts used to have some, but they seem to have discontinued them.
