Dammit

Oh well. I been wrong before. I'll admit, it's probably on the fritz because of various other "alternative" kilt manufacturers whose products I've seen, and I'm on a website for kilts talking about clothing with a bunch of dudes...so...the way people worry about the color of their socks around here, I dunno what to tell you. The signal to noise ratio is piss-poor, I think.

So...with that in mind...I gotta ask the gay community...what exactly is the allure of kilts?

Thanks AA, yes I have seen them many many times, and I know of a few members who have bought from them. They really arn't bad for the "trad" ones,(sometimes they pleat to a random element- very tradtional or do I mean historic!) but the more avant guarde ones are the fashion ones or for the clubs scene.I will look for them on Saturday in Brighton.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your input.

However as I need a kilt for a party in Berlin in 4 weeks time, I have no time to wait for them to come back and I have listened to your advice too

I have purchase with Scotsweb a black wool casual 7 yard kilt (13oz). This looks like a good quality product to me also long term. And you can accessories it to give it a more contemporary look. And if I was ever want to I can buy a matching black Argyll coat and waistcoat with it. (I think that looks really good). Somehow Scotsweb comes across as a reliable companyG

But I am still interested in a Guiltykilt but just wait and see. (Paul Henry please let them know in case you see them in Brighton :-)) At first I thought it was only for clubbing 20 year olds but after having seen some movies on you tube I am still interested. (They are also going after the gay "bear" market)

Being gay myself in my mid forties with jeans size 29 I think I still can give it go :-)

I certainly hope so .

I have been trying to ring them now for over two days and just get an answering service. Wonder if they are still in business

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.....

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....

Young or old...straight, gay or bi...don't we all just look great in a kilt?!
I think if you want something more modern with a different 'fit', there are surely enough kilt makers who participate and advertise here to create what you're looking for. Give them a call and see what your options are. And remember--you'll look great.

to the OP:
you might wish to search the board for Lady Crystal. She recently made up a VERY modern kilt for a family friend (if I remember correctly), that was not only gorgeous, but expertly made.
