Knife pocket in the kick pleat
image.jpeg
Saw an interesting picture today of a knife pocket in the kick pleat of what looked to be a traditional kilt by Paul Henry Kilts. Anyone done one of these? I can't help but wonder how it might affect drape and swing.
Here's a link to the tweet. Kilt looks very nice.

I tried zooming in to look closer whilst on my phone but that was an excercise in futility. I'd imagine a hidden pocket in a pleat would be fantastic, though with a razor honed Sgian in my hose top it would be a tad redundant. I think the pocket might be quite useful for cash or if big enough, for a credit card and pilots license.

I managed to zoom in on it. It's one of those very flat, very sharp folding lockbacks with a clip on it like a ball-point pen has. If it's like mine it won't have much weight to effect the swing or hang of the kilt a lot. Bit of an affectation to me but interesting. p

The tartan is available from Paul Henry kilts, I don't know where the Harris came from. By the jumper and boots in the photo I would say the kilt came from North of Hadrians kilts and clothing. One of the owners learnt everything he knows about kilts, including the under apron pocket from the owner of this forum

I guess it was more about the pocket than the knife.

I like the idea for a spot to slip a spare key or perhaps a fiver. I just thought the idea of using the extra material within the kick pleat was interesting. It is a great looking kilt even without the pocket.

Reason: Typos. Probably not all of 'em.

I'm with Leprechaun on this one. An extra pocket for money, spare key, credit card, etc, reminds me of money belts or secret stash sites in clothes for valuables when travelling.
But in these turbulent times, a hidden pocket may just be the new kilt modification of choice.
