What would you like to see in a kilt?

[CMcG]

Inspired by Jimmy's thread elsewhere on the site, here's what I'd like to see....

The cotton, interfacing, or liner if you will, (that's inside the kilt, covering the top of the pleats) to extend about 3 inches lower, and go around the kilt 360 degrees, including the under-apron, and be attachable / detachable with snaps.

Then, I'd have... Presto! An underkilt, or kilt liner that is snapped to the underside of my kilt, hence not restricting my freedom. Then, if I had a whole bunch of these, I could simply remove the liner at the end of each kilted day, and snap-in a fresh, clean one...

Eureka!

O friend of mine who makes kilts had the same thought. It's amazing what hasn't been updated in all this time.

I might try this idea on one of my practice attempts before working with the Cthulu tartan

The wife and I just had our first real vacation in 10 tens. We were in Florida visiting museums, aquariums, botanical gardens, restaurants, and of course the beach. For 11 days I wore kilts. The swimsuit was the only non-kilt I wore. Wool is a great material, but it would not have kept up. There was salt water, dog barf, rain, sticky kid fingers, and sand. My Ultimate Kilts from Sports Kilts had the 4 pockets and belt loops necessary to carry the various items vacationers need. A Stillwater Cargo Sporran with RKilt braid leather strap completed my baggage. The belt loops kept that sporran from slipping about. A kilt could go into the wash at night and be ready for another day in the morning. So to all kilt makers out there pockets, belt loop, and washable materials are a must for an every day kilt. Closer to home, cooler days, and on special events a traditional wool kilt is the ticket.

What I would like to see is kilt hose with the same cushioning loops that are in Smart Wool socks. Often I have to use a sock liner with kilt hose to keep the yarn from being tattooed into the soles of my feet. Maybe a line of performance kilt hose for those days of hiking and festivals.

Probably already been said by numerous posters, but my answer is...
