Have Kilt Will Travel

**Mael Coluim** · 30th August 08, 01:56 PM

Here’s a question for you the kilted travelers. They are clothes that are marketed to be best suited for travel. Usually the ease of wear and cleaning is their trade mark.

What kilt (manufacturer or type) have you found best suited for travel? Catching airplanes and touring through various places for several weeks.

Depending on the part of the world your exploring I would guess PV or wool.

PV or wool, guess that sums it up.

Wool has always been the fiber of choice for outdoorsmen due to its inherant properties. Wool is amazing in its ability to withstand a variety of weather conditions. It stays warm even when wet, can actually help regulate heat in warmer climes although it may not be the ideal fabric for the tropics. Wool is very resilient and naturally water repellant for minor spills, drizzle, etc. But best of all wool looks good!

Nothing beats a tank.

To me there is nothing like a tank, anytime, anywhere.

For the actual travel part, planes, cars, etc, I loe my utilikilts. But I always carry a PV or wool kilt or two for daily wear. Most of my travel is business, though, so as far as getting out in Nature I can't speak to that. Yet.

A USA Casual kilt works best for me for the actual travel part - air/road/water/rail and pack the good stuff for later.

I have to agree here. Another would be a SWK thrifty since the lack of buckles will help with the metal detectors.

I have travelled in various SWK models (Thrifty & Standard) as well as Utilikilts. The UK and the Thrifty Kilt works fine when travelling. With the SWK Standard, and I am sure most other kilts with straps and buckles attached, there is a bit of a challenge going through security. In my experiences, TSA doesn't quite know what to do when the metal detector goes off from the buckles. Takes a bit of time to be wanded...and the wand can be waved in unpleasant places....Just my experiences...others may have not had these same issues.
