It DOES look like a traditional Kilt at first glance. It is great and innovative styling to combine contemporary features with traditional materials. I think it's a superb piece of work though I do appreciate the complexities of production. Unfortunately this probably puts it out of the reach of most Kilt buyers and means it will likely remain unique.

    I'll bet Hamish would like one!
    I am sorry EB, that really does not look like a traditional kilt at first glance. How can it with those pockets standing out like a sore thumb and with all those narrow belt loops? It is without doubt a skilled piece of work, but not traditional at first glance.
