Kilted beach towel

[Aegis]

I was at Eckerd today wearing my kilt buying some drinks and an ace bandage.

standing in line some 5 yr old looks to his dad and says, dad look, that man is wearing a towel...

his dad and I shared a chuckle.

James has done very well with this. He has another design for the European Market.
I remember the first time he had them for sale at the Cambridge Highland Games last year. A number of vendors at the games scoffed at the idea, but most of those vendors were carrying the towels this year.

Nae offence tae anyone, but a ken a lad that works in a shop (Edinburgh)that sells these towels and other cheesy gifts, he said they sell like hotcakes tae tourists!
Och they wid be a bit a fun on a beach!

Why are you so down on this? It's obviously not meant to be worn as a kilt. I kinda like it, and think it is a brilliant idea.

I think it's a hoot!

Hi all !!!

Surfing on the web leads to bizarre discoveries as seen on this site

I will not buy one of them for sure.

I'm not defending it at all, just a few questions. Why is this not a kilt? Because someone says it isn't? Because of the material it's made of? Because it isn't made to the wearer's measurements?

I recently purchased a SWK Standard Kilt and found it to be a garment, it definitely was not a kilt. So, if the SWK Standard Kilt can be called a kilt, why can't the garment you linked be called a kilt? Where do we stop with the word "kilt"?

I'm not trying to start a war or anything, just curious.

Because it's a towel.......

It's a gimmick to use at the beach or the pool. Anyone seriously thinking of wearing one out and about should ask themselves why they don't just wear the towel they wrapped themselves in after a shower out to the store, the pub, or work.

I still think these are great for swimming, but let's be real, it's a gag. It would be like wearing a see-ya-jimmy hat in place of a balmoral

Curse you Colin. These two items was my last ditch effort to get kilt checked. The rubber chicken sporran just doesn't have the desired effect.

You really just have to stop twirlling near women in the pub while wearing the "wanna see what's under it" shirt, Grant. It scares the women away....so I am told

Well, I wouldn't wear one out as a kilt. I would love to have one for going to the beach and the pool. I know some people swim in their kilts but I haven't gotten into that yet.

I say it isn't a kilt because it isn't pleated. The pleats are screened on. If it was made out of terry clothe (what most towels are made of) and pleated I would think about wearing to the beach or pool.
