Camouflage Kilts...

[Pittsburgh Kilts]

The idea of a camo kilt is what first got me interested in kilts. I've got a little Scottish blood, but no clan affiliation.

If you're Scottish enough to know what your clan is, then maybe you know your tartan, and maybe it means something to you. Maybe.

Meanwhile there are millions of outdoorsmen in America who DO know what camo pattern they prefer. And they buy everthing from coffee mugs to toaster cozzies in their camo-of-choice. Are they planning to wear those Realtree bedroom slippers into the woods? No, but their camo makes a statement about them--just like that tartan pattern makes a statement about the Scotsman.

It's not uncommon for someone to approach me in my camo kilt and say something like, "Well, I've never seen that tartan before." My standard answer is, "This, my friend, is the official tartan of the American Outdoorsman Clan!"

Greetings!

I have long been a fan of camo kilts. While any kilt draws attention, a camouflage kilt really makes people asks questions.

Someone mentioned that guys seem more willing to talk about kilts to someone in a camo model - an observation that I have found to be true.

My camo collection is up to 5 [UK Woodland, DPM, SK WWII pattern, US Desert 6color, Custom SK Army digital]. Sadly I had to sell a very nice AK Tiger Stripe due to my slightly increased girth.

I respect those who take kilt wearing to finite degrees of formality and properness but I have always thought that stuffy attitudes suck the fun out of a lot of kilt wearing. I would never have "gotten into" the joy of being kilted if it weren't for sport-kilt makers.

When you wear a camo kilt you HAVE to have fun - it just happens. No rules about material length or quality, clan affiliation, no crying if it gets a small stain or if someone spills beer on it,etc [OK, I do admit to one act of snobbery - even though I like the MARPAT - as a die-hard Army guy I just can't bring myself to wear a Marine pattern! :-) ]

Does anyone know of a maker of a sporty-styled CADPAT kilt?

Sincerely,
OE

Welcome back Jeff, hows the programing game?
Is this a subtle announcement that you are back making camo kilts?
Maybe you would have one laying around that was close to my size?

I'm afraid the programming job has become permanent. I just didn't want to fade into complete oblivion, so I thought I'd pop in with a comment now and again.

And no spare kilts laying around right now -- sorry!

But I'm still on your waiting list, right?

Sorry to hear that...the programming monster snared me about 7 years ago...and she won't let go!

Shipped my SUV yesterday. It's headed for New Jersey, where we will pick it up on June 12 and proceed toward Maine.

Anyway, while I was at the Vehicle Processing Center, I saw no less than 15 Army guys either sending or receiving their vehicles. Almost all of them were in the grayish looking CADPAT uniforms. Awesome looking material. It appears that it would hold pleats quite well. I need to find a source and do up a kilt!

...grayish looking CADPAT... I need to find a source and do up a kilt!

I understand Hawaii has a huge BX. Go ask questions about fabric availability there.

And let us know when we can place our yardage requirements through you (I'd like 5 yds or meters. )
