What if they sold Kilts at Wall-Mart?

[O'Callaghan]

If they did it would probably be priced at half that, say $25. The Hot Topic ones are that much ($50) as it is. Also, I'm guessing they would be in random fashion tartans, as indeed the Hot Topic ones are. The latter come in 'red plaid', 'green plaid' and solid black, AFAIK. Walmart might offer another solid colour or two, like beige or navy perhaps, but would probably otherwise do the same thing, although they would definitely go cheaper in price.

AFAIK the Hot Topic kilts have only 'pinch pleats' (or I think that's what a seamstress would call them) so as to use the least fabric, i.e. less than if they had proper knife pleats. It's my guess (without trying one on) that the reason they go a bit below the knee is that because they are pinch pleated there isn't sufficient fabric to spread between the knees when you sit (I reckon the few extra inches on the hem doesn't add as much as proper pleats would). Kilts with pinch pleats make even my SWK Thrifty kilt look deluxe. Two-yard kilts, perhaps? OTOH, they do have pockets.

I suspect Walmart would put in pockets, but I hope they wouldn't use pinch pleats and a below knee hem. But this is all academic. I doubt they could sell enough yet to carry them. I think more guys would have to be wearing kilts before this would happen.
