Guilty kilts

[wildrover]

Has everybody ever dealt with Guilty Kilts or purchased one?

You can find their collection on www.guiltykilt.com. They are primarily for the gay market, however their kilts look pretty good

Interesting...maybe my gaydar is busted, but I didn't get "gay market" from their website...alt/goth/punk maybe, and most of those kilts are WAYYY too long for me to wear...but yeah, they're worn well, and if you were to ask me, I'd suggest one of their kilts in a heartbeat vs dressing like the guy I linked in the "Are You Man Enough" thread:

Interesting, that they're too long in general but the way they're being worn doesn't at all suggest 'skirt'. I do wonder, if the guys on the site were to have pulled their kilts up to their natural waists, if the kilts would then appear to be the correct length, fell & fitment issues aside.

Basically I am looking for a very modern striking black kilt which you can use both to dress up and go clubbing. The Guilty kilt black one looks very good but if they do not pick up the phone.....

IMHO...you have decided what style of fabric you want, and where it will sit on your waist, but consider the length and style of wear as well--since they mention "bespoke", I'm sure they'd be willing to hit a particular spot on your knee, if you weren't keen on the long/sag look.

There is a photo around here somewhere of a guy wearing his kilt sagged, with a matching buckle & cantle, scrunched hose and boots, etc...it works, but only because of what else is being worn with the kilt, and how--the sleeveless undershirt, the rugby shirt, the classic t-shirt, the hoodie, bare skin, these can all work with a sagged kilt and scrunched hose...but start to dress it up, and IMHO a sagged kilt immediately looks either sloppy or skirty, usually the latter, and neither does any of us any credit.

What kind of material is the best. Scotsweb does have a variety of black casual kilts but somehow can't make up my mind what to pick. There is a Bespoke Casual Kilt by Manley Richardson in black which looks quite stunning....

The standard UK black might suit you. If you wanted something more traditional...have you seen the "Black Isle" tartan and similar designs, where there is a sett, but all very dark colors?
