Grey Hamilton Casual Kilt

[cessna152towser]

ebay uk has had a lot of listings recently for casual fashion kilts in traditional menswear colours, and I decided to have this one on Buy-it-Now as it was listed as a Grey Hamilton, and I do have a Hamilton line of ancestry.
Note the tee-shirt from Highlandtide.

The seller's ebay username is Heritage of Scotland, and the Paypal payment went to Gold Brothers. I bought a size 38 kilt, it arrived within two days but the ticket attached to it said it was a size 40. However when I tried it on it is a very good fit at the waist and is obviously a size 38. The kilt is PVC and comes in a standard 24 inch length. The seller claims that the kilt is fully lined in cotton, but the lining does in fact only extend to the bottom of the fell.

Menswear grey against the autumn tints. The black hose from Brewins are rather sheer. I think grey hose may work equally well if not better with this kilt.

A close up of the sett. I had been expecting the sett would be the usual Hamilton sett but in shades of grey, however it is nothing like the sett of my formal Hamilton kilt, looks to be very much a fashion tartan, one for our tartan experts.

The obligatory pleats shot.
Verdict:- at just £29.99 is fair value for a casual kilt. A reasonable representation of a kilt, with a proper fringe and fell. Would make a good starter kilt for someone who would like to try the kilt for casual wear but is shy of the attention which garish tartans will attract.
