New to the forum, returning again to kilts
I'll let my avatar speak for itself- I'm not the most traditional kilter! Yes- you can wear tie dye with a kilt. At least a OG black Utilikilt, if you are running the stages for a festival....
I have two badgers inside me, one likes to hike and mess around with forges and get grease and machine dirt all over myself- and care less than nothing about tradition while enjoying and celebrating a kilt.
And the other badger likes a kilt pin and belt and maybe a fancy shirt or two. I do enjoy some of the stuff that goes with the traditional kilt and like exploring how practical some of the accessory garb really is.
I've spent, off and on, a lot of time full timing a modern kilt, have lived for several weeks at a time during festivals in a great kilt (I did have 4 shirts!)
I'm coming back to it again, and finding I like the higher waist of a trad kilt, but still prefer the feel and pockets and hammer loops and such of a modern UK style kilt.
I've made clothing- from garb to "normal" (sort of) and a few kilts -
A traditional one - out of necessity for a festival years ago. it's not great, but not really awful.
And a few modern ones with double seamed pleats and a wider waistband... some design elements I think are a bit lacking much of the time- I could get into it, if I decide I want to do that again.
I've read several threads on the forum over the years and am glad to have finally joined
Thanks!

Welcome!
I'm in California, I have a sister in the Phoenix area (Carefree, yes it's a place! Near Cave Creek).
Coming up soon are the Phoenix Scottish Games, the first weekend in March. https://phoenixscottishgames.com/
They're held at Gilbert Regional Park.
I'll be there in kilts tramping around on Saturday March 4th. I'm not performing, just hanging out.
It would be cool if you could attend!
