Matt,

I'm real glad you brought this subject up. It is something I have been trying to put into words for quite a while now.

When I first started to make Kilts it was my concept to create something that could be worn in the place of trousers with whatever was already in the closet.

But I wanted my product to look like a Kilt.

If you look back at almost all of the photos of my you see that I wear regular shirts, regular shoes, and for the most part nothing that it is normally assumed that must be worn with a Kilt.

I'm going to think about this subject for a while and then perhaps suggest to the Mods that along with our Traditional Highland Dress section and our Historical Highland Attire section that we add a modern/contemporary/dressing on a budget section. (don't yet know what a good name would be).

I'm also going to try to come up with my own version of the 10 ways to dress pictorial based on normal everyday things that most will already have in their closet.

Because I advocate the wearing of the Kilt as everyday wear I have tried to tell my customers and friends to "Wear what you already have". It has always been my guiding principal that the Kilt is just another piece of clothing. Accessories like hose or a belt, although specific to a Kilt, shouldn't have to be expensive.
