Kilted beach towel

[ardchoille]

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.

Good reply. One of the reasons I say it isn't a kilt is because it isn't made of tartan. What is the definition of jeans? Must any garment made of denim be called jeans? Must "jeans" always be made of denim? If we define jeans by the material from which it's made.. why do we not extend the same courtesy to the kilt?

I don't think it was ever meant to be called a kilt. It's a towel, that looks like a kilt, nothing more. And I think it's hilarious and have been tempted to buy one for myself.

Its only intended as beach wear and it sells well; I suspect most of the purchasers here in Scotland are Scots heading off to warmer climates on holiday, although I have seen an Instakilt worn with a Jimmy hat at Gretna Gateway Shopping Mall.

Off topic alert - That endangered my laptop with coffee spit/spray!!!! "Jimmy hat" has a different meaning on this side of the pond......


but glad to see the merchant is having success!!

Hey man, I wasn't going to say it!

Umm, for members of the forum who aren't hip to recent US slang, a "jimmy hat" is another phrase for a condom.

OK - I know that this started with the beach towell thing, but I'd just like to say that I just threw out my swimming trunks!

After getting dumped in the pool while wearing my cheapy cotton sport kilt, and it held up quite well, I no longer feel the need for the trunks. They are in the rag-bag!!

So I guess I'll get one of these towells to wrap around me while the sport kilt dries

They are selling in a Hawick High Street shop for £12.99 each.

I had to bump this thread, because I just ran across these towels on ebay. Hilarious. I made a comment in another thread about a PC t-shirt. I think these towels are only one step away from that.

I got one for Christmas, not very absorbent - too much dye in the decoration.


CT - but it's still funny
