Earlier this week I received my first venture into non-traditional kilts, a khaki box pleated kilt by Alpha kilts. My wife is out of town on a "girls weekend", so it's just me and the kids. So, how am I spending my Friday evening?

I took the tag off of the Alpha kilt and am testing it out. It's comfortable and the quality appears to be first quality. I love how the snaps are behind the different sides of the apron. The construction is interesting in the fact the the pleats appear to continue around the entire kilt, even under the apron. The only thing that I'm getting used to is the smaller apron. I guess that is pretty standard in non-traditional kilts. I will say I like the look of it when wearing a kilt belt. A sporran can be worn but is not needed.

All in all, as one who was a bit skeptical of non-traditional kilts. I am impressed and love the weight of the fabric. I think this kilt will get a great deal of use in the future as the possibilities for how it can be worn appear to be endless.

Bravo to one of the newest Xmarks sponsors!

I'll try to post pictures in the near future.
