Cashmere Kilt

Obviously, you're gonna get more slack about whether its a "true kilt" in Mexico City than you would in the Highlands. Enjoy the FREEDOM and cashmere comfort.

And, God forgive me, having watched The Mask of Zorro last night I can't help but wonder how your turnout would look with a Zorro mask.....

Belive me is very hard (and expensive) to find original stuff here in Mexico, but I will do my best! I assure you that cashmere feels great!

That T-shirt is very nice too!, You should try it! May be its not very accurate with the use of kilt but I was just trying

You are not a Gringo Loco!, You just said what you thought and thats cool for me!

I have a question about using cashmere. I like the fabric, but because it has a 'softer finish' than what is usually found in kilts, will it hold the pleats as well?

Its softer, and cooler than wool, thats a fact, and belive me if its well sewed, the pleats hold perfect, in the picture, because of my posture, they look not so well.

Thanks for asking

I think agreeing on what a kilt is, is going to be a tad tricky, particularly as we(the members) cannot even agree on such minor kilt topics as hose colour, head-wear, tartan ties, kilt height, dicing on a bonnet, matching colours, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.. Still, it is in a funny sort of way, rather reassuring that the same topics crop up as regularly as the dawn.

I am no expert, far from it, but it looks like a comfortable modern kilt to me!

Nice modern kilt, Omar! I was looking at your historic fencing site. One of my best friends locally is involved with the same sport. Check out his website here:

Thank you!!, Im starting to be a "Kiltaholic", and that was my first serious try of having a kitl.

The fencing school looks great! Is there a chance to know the name of your friend and been in contact with him, there are a lot of events world wide and may be we can share some experiences. Thanks again!

My friend's name is Kevin Dougherty, and there is an email address at the website. His previous partner, Maestro John Sullins, is now the fencing master at Sonoma State University in California....
