    Odd kilt?

    This morning the local St. Patrick's Day parade was held downtown. Our antique car club participated and I drove my 1931 Model A Ford. I noticed a number of kilts among the spectators. One wearer in particular wore a green/black tartan kilt. What made it stand out (to me, anyway) was that it had a very narrow apron and what looked like a zipper instead of buckles! I did not have time to stop and question the wearer, nor would I have done so in a crowd. Just looked odd to me.

    Was it THIS ODD?

    Can't tell for sure but it looks like its pleated to the "gather."

    Think there were threads about kilts making it to the men/boys fashion mainstream with Hot Topic...

    That might have been it. Your reference shows a longer length, but it could have been hemmed to proper kilt length. I could not see the side straps, so they could have been removed.

    Thanks for checking!
