    a TIE DYE KILT

    OK,
    i made a joke about finding the fabric and getting a "TIE DYE" Kilt made.
    Of course i didn't think that "TIE DYE" fabric was made in bulk.
    Popping into a Fabricland location looking for camo fabric,
    i found lots of different and wild "TIE DYE" fabric!
    lots of different colour blends and patterns.
    now the question is..................
    MacHummel, do you think you would be game to make a "TIE DYE" Kilt if i provide the fabric?
    (and paid for your time, just noticed how that sounded like i expected you to work for free. lol!)
    now it's not going to happen tomorrow, this stuff is $20.00/meter, so this is going to be a pricey trip to the

    uh..... Scottish 60's & 70's man!

    every year for the past several years i see a tie-dyed Utilikilt at the Loch Norman Highland Games. as far as i know Utilikilts did a small run of tie-dye kilts. it is interesting. it has alot of blues purples and a little white in it. it is ok looking. not something i would wear though (however, i do love tie-dye shirts and have plenty of those).

    I think this is a great idea. There are camo kilts out there why not tie-die? Post some pictures if you ever get a finished product. I don't think i'd ever wear one, but I like the idea.

    That will make my acid-washed denim SK look very tame ...
    It could look very cool, you will of course post pictures right ???
    At least show us the fabric when you get it.

    I wonder if this is the same one? This photo appeared on the Utilikilts Gallery several years ago. Although I have fourteen Utilikilts, I really do not think I could wear one like this - at least, not in public!!

    that's not the one i saw. it is a younger guy that wears it. and it has a narrow color palette compared to the above tie-dye. it was just purples and blues on white. in fact, i wonder if it was a homemade job with a white Workman's UK.

    You know, it's reasonably easy to "roll your own" tie-die. The Rit Dye web page even gives instructions....

    that pattern is called "sun burst"
    couldn't find any like that, the stuff i found looks more like
    digi camo, only in acid trip kinda colours.
