    Who makes camouflage kilts?

    Folks,

    I'm a Department of Defense (DOD) civilian and it looks like I might deployed back to Iraq or, more likely to Afghanistan in the near future.

    I decided I should take a kilt with me this time.

    Since I'll be in a combat zone I want to have a casual 5-yard kilt in either the old three-tone desert camouflage pattern if I go to Iraq, or the old woodland camouflage pattern if I go to Afghanistan. These are the old camouflage patterns, not the new digital patterns (though I like the USMC versions).

    Any recommendations on who I should go to to have one (or both) made?

    Tiger Stripe (1968 version)
    6 Color Desert (Desert Storm)
    3 Color Desert (late and post Desert Storm)
    Marpat (USMC) Temperate (Woodland) (MilSpec)
    Marpat (USMC) Arid (Desert) (MilSpec)
    CadPat Temperate (MilSpec)
    ACU Digital (US Army)(MilSpec)
    MultiCam (Non-MilSpec & MilSpec 2nd's)
    And of course Pink Death

    I also have 1 Kilt's worth of ABU digital (USAF)

    Here is one I made on duty about 26 miles SE of Bagdad.

    (Sorry. I had to delete this photo. It included a weapon that could be taken as a violation of our Rule #11.) If anyone wants to see it you can PM me.

    Not sure if this is the same CADPAT that Steve still has. I loved this camo since it blended in so well with the terrain here in the canyonlands. I outgrew it and it now lives in Scotland.



    Here's a desert camo pattern from Freedom Kilts too. I also outgrew this one and it now lives in Washington State



    Pics are old and not too clear - hope they help.

    I got mine from Flamingo Kilts. I absolutely love it and would not hesitate to recomend Flamingo.

    I actually will be wearing this kilt to the Great Sand Dunes National Park this coming week, so I will have better pics week from tonight.

    AmeriKilt used to offer a very lightweight hot weather tiger stripe camo kilt.



    Pittsburgh Kilts (sadly no longer making kilts) used to offer a Desert MARPAT



    and a Forest MARPAT



    And of course Utilikilts has offered all sorts of normal and WILD camo patterns over the years. This is their Woodland Camo in the Original Utilikilt model.



    I used to be a camo kilt junkie....but I got olde and fat.

    When is someone going to make one from the original vietnam ERDL pattern camo? Now that would be cool. **ERDL is what eventually became the woodland pattern, but is more green dominant with smaller color brushes that have shadow edges**

    I own 2 of Steve's kilts (1 in Camo, 1 solid tan) and am very pleased with the work. As he's not only an advertiser, but also the forum owner and a nice guy (after a cup of coffee), I would definitely recommend you check out his work.

    I know when I was in Afghanistan I wore a kilt once and then decided not to wear it again after that while in country. The looks I was getting from the locals, interpreters, and A.N.A disturbed me greatly.
    Aside from all that I can also vouch for Steves' work and who doesn't think a nice camo kilt looks cool!?
