    Looks like it could be a HBC Dress tartan. We do know how to dress up, up here in the Great White North . Take off, Hoser.

    No dooot aboot it, eh?

    Was gonna say the same thing about being an HBC 'dress'. Also, i've seen that on the East Coast many 'women's kilts' are all the 'dress' version of a tartan.

    Yea, that's the Dress version of the HBC. I've seen it in person and somehow it just doesn't have the class of the regular one. But hey, girls get to do what ever they want.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    Hmmm...I feel another cause coming on. Okay...we reclaimed unbifurcated from women but they're still holding out on smooth back peated front.

    Why oh why oh why can't men also have a smooth kilt backside to sit on with the pleats in the front? A lot less worry about wrinkled pleats.

    The kilts probably wouldn't swish as much but sitting would be a LOT easier....common sense....am I right or what??

    Never mind tradition, lets grab a handful of common sense and lean over the edge of the envelope and explore the possibilities....

    Simple solution - Before you sit down, twist the entire kilt around and sit down on the front side, and then when you stand up twist it around the right way.....
