A Good Kilt for Native Americans?

[Riverkilt]

When Wes Studi did his cameo in Christmas in the Clouds he just wore Royal Stewart



With such a strong parallel between Navajo people and Scots (clans/sheep/long walk and clearances/ prohibition of traditional language, dress, and ways....I thought it'd be cool if there were Navajo clan tartans, or else tartans that picked up the colors of Traditional Navajo rugs for different areas. No clue who'd buy such tartans though.

And, of course, the traditional Hopi men's unbifurcated garment is translated to English as a kilt - though its unpleated.

Good looking kilt. I'm not Scot nor Native American, but would wear it proudly.



P.S.: What do you think in general about tartan sporran? Any opinions?


Regards to all!

Nice kilt. It's not something I would wear, but it definitely has the Southwest flavor.

I like the kilt and I like the sporran, but I don't feel they work well together. The pattern of the sporran blends into the pattern of the kilt too much. I think it would look better with a solid color sporran.

I would save the patterned sporran for a solid color kilt.

All that being said, I feel that pattern would be entirely appropriate for someone of southwestern heritage.

I like it! I'd rather see a nice brown leather sporran with it, though. Maybe Rob Roy or other more primitive styled one, with antler button closure and beads. THAT would really look cool...
