would you define this a kilt?

[JolyStNicholas]

I wouldn't wear it to a formal, semi-formal or for that matter any occasion. But I am a slight bit too old for the shirts and hair style.



:ootd:

I'm 100% in agreement with ya on this one! But as I have said in the past, It's strictly your choice as to what ya choose ta wear, if it fits ya, and the groups ya hang with, go for it!

Honestly, I have no idea as all the pix are so washed out (black), on my monitor it looks like he's wearing a black rectangle.

Sorry...

I think it is just pushing the boundaries.....not for me

No, I would not call it a kilt.

It looks to me like it is not a wrapped garment; that is there are no lapped aprons in the front, which for me would take it out of the kilt class and into the general mug classification. BTW, just as an esthetic judgement, why would you care? To my eye (and I do wear contemporary kilts on occasion) it just looks ugly.

That was my thought, as well. I wouldn't wear it personally. It doesn't look like a kilt to my eyes. But as stated- if you can pull it off (Hamish could! ) then go for it!

***EDIT*** I also am a modern kilt wearer, and am in fact wearing my Amerikilt right now.

The pictures on the web site have so little contrast, it is hard to see details. The zipper on the front of the apron starts a fairly good way up from the hem, leaving an open slit, which you should consider. Unless they have hidden a pair of shorts under there, I would call it a kilt, a very nontraditional, edgy kilt, but a kilt! Worn by the right person, with the right attitude, this could be a very hot look (about 40 years and a whole mind set too late for me, but hot). If you like it and feel that you would feel good wearing it, go for it. The sites return policy sounds reasonable, but read it before ordering. If you do order it (and keep it) post pictures of you wearing it, so we can get a good look.

I agree with both of you. Just because a cat has a nose, four legs and a tail does not make it a dog. Likewise, just because they call it a kilt, doesn't mean it is one.

I like the kilt! Not quite to my current taste, but when I was younger and more into the 'punk' scene, this would have been a fun option.

I also like how it pushes the definition of a kilt. For some, it pushes the definition too far. To that, I say "GOOD"! If you do not push the definition of something on occasion, it becomes stale and boring and eventually dies. This kilt is not stale or boring!

My advice? Go for it and enjoy!

[Monkey@Arms]

It's got a zipper down the middle of the apron? Really? I can't make out a d@mn thing on my monitor. Certainly the line drawing on the lower right of image depicts a somewhat typical modern kilt design.

Best regards,
