Good day all,

I was at the mall yesterday wasting time withe my wife and I was wearing a Navy digital camo kilt with a military sweater and combat boots.

Now in this same mall when I have worn a tartan based kilt I get all sorts of looks and comments but while wearing the modern/casual kilt now where near the interest. I've noticed this other places to when wearing modern kilts no one really looks twice but a tartan based one... look out!

People are like bass...attracted to the rattle and flash...LOL!

Did you make the Navy digital camo? If so where did you find the fabric....I am stil active duty, and can see an opportunity to aggravate some fairly stuffy officers...:twisted:

I have noticed the same thing. I get comments from the tartan kilts but few from contemporary kilts. I assume this has to do with people's expectations. They recognize the tartan kilt and many can relate to it in some way. Take away the tartan and they are not sure what your have on. Of my contemporary kilts the box pleat Alphakilt has received the most comments. Zero comments from my denim or leather Kilt.

One of the forum members made it for me in trade. Not sure where he got the material.

You really want to have fun? Show up to muster like :evil: -

Here's a comment: You went to a mall on Christmas Eve? ... On purpose?

:lol:

Actually was pretty barren. It was a Friday after all even if it was Christams Eve. We went early in the morning and were gone by just after lunch.

Not all officers are stuffy!! :-)

Maybe we could all get them and write a point paper requesting an update to the current uniform regs?

Out-------Standing! I absolutely hate that uniform...I Made Chief right before it came out, and they took my working khaki away from me...Then when we griped MCPON had the nerve to say, "a Sailor works for his anchors, not for the uniform..." ---- that...As you can imagine it torqued me off a bit, him telling me what I worked for for 16 years..hence my retirement in August...That, among other reasons..:twisted:

I would seriously love to show up at morning quarters like that...It'd sure put hitch in someone's britches...and the kilt is certainly an improvement over the cargo pants...LOL..too bad they don't have a Glengarry option...digi camo with Navy tartan band...Hooyah!

Hmm..Chiefs anchor for a kilt pin...

WOW! I would pay to be present at that uniform inspection!!

Chiefs Anchor for a kilt pin... How about Craftmaster, ESWS and the garrison cap Anchor in a stack with the Anchor on the top ala UniRegs. And I don't believe that anyone wants to hear an old retired CPO gripe about the water camoflague uniform or the Ensign who got dressed in the dark uniform. At least we finally have a firefighting ensemble that will protect the firefighter.
