Camo Kilts
Reading Rivenraven's comments on camo kilts, then...
Following Robert's lead to move the Camo Kilt discussion off the Bear thread on Kiltmakers forum.
I'm a camo kilt junkie. Own an AK tiger stripe camo, a FK desert camo, a FK CADPAT, a PK forest MARPAT, a PK desert MARPAT, and a UK camo original.
My first kilt choice was a camo kilt. I love them. I'm jonesing for a kilt in the British camo pattern.
Why? I'm an old guy. My service with the USMC was 40 years ago. I'm sure no G.I. Joe. I don't even play paintball.
I think Robert had a point, different camos are like different tartans.
Was just hanging one to dry this morning and realized that the camo pattern helps hide some of the seam curls that emerge. The camo pattern also helps make the rumpled butt look less noticeable if I've been sitting a long time.
I'm sure part of me picked camo for the macho in hopes of warding off B.S. comments when I was new to kilts. Now I'm proud to put on a MARPAT Camo with a USMC t shirt or tank.
Sure, it may not be practical for combat...but I'm not wearing camo kilts into combat. I do wear them hiking and I really do like the way they look either here in the scrub of the canyonlands or when I'm up in the forests of the high country.
Bottom line, I like the look of a camo kilt.
I would guess the kiltmakers don't sell a lot of camo kilts, but there's no doubt there's a die hard core of us that love them for various reasons.

"I'll have a kilt please, a nice hand sewn tartan, 16 ounce Strome. Oh, and a sporran on the side, with a strap please."
