Modern Kilts with Traditional Elements

All of my kilts use the three buckle system, and pockets.

Hope I can finish this post before my keyboard shorts out from drool and slobber...

Steve, Robert, Rocky....ahhhhhhh circuits shorting out!! Its all tooooo gooood!!

If I remember, the Hillwalker is a tad pricy.

I too am dreaming of a "halfbreed" kilt. A tartan with side pockets.

Steve, I'm drooling to see your X Marks with pockets...Semper Fi

Robert, How could I ever buy anything but leather from you buddy??

Rocky, I'm just trying to forget I ordered so I'll be surprised when it arrives.

Didn't Jimmy say that side pockets could be added by a talented needlesmith? Don't think I could do that myself...

Haven't seen Jeff around in a while, my PKs have side pockets...

I'm so hopelessly addicted have even thought about buying some WalMart tartan cloth and gluing it onto a UK Mocker....

Shorting out now....

Hey Josh,

You must have posted while I was composing...interesting...went to your site took a while to figure out the email for price part. Couldn't find what "washable fabric" really was...? Look forward to your gallery being up.

Jeez...lengthen the wish list....

I'd like to find a nice solid in balck or other dark color, with three straps and buckles and no rings for sporran attachment, no rivets and no pockets of any kind. I guess the best way to describe what I want would be (forgive me for suggesting this, Rocky, but I'd never do it anyhow) to take my Modern Gordon USA traditional kilt and dye it black. TFCK makes a really great looking kilt like this, but it is currently out of my price range. The closest thing I've found is the Stillwater heavyweight in Black Shadow tartan. However, the standard lenght for Stillwaters is 23 or more inches and at my slightly shrunken with age 5'10" , I'm afraid it would be at the point where it hangs below my knee. All of my current kilts are 22 to 22.5 inches in length and these hang just about the center of the kneecap.

Hey Josh, missed it.

At work (kilted) can't email yet.

I have a sorta brushed cotton dress Macdonald tartan shirt that's too small for me now. Think it was a Land's End deal many years ago. Have thought about cutting it up, but wanted a useful project that would look okay. So am interested in what your tartan insert/swatch/patch looks like.
