Chav Kilt!!!
I mentioned 'chavs' in a post about a week ago and anyone from the UK will know what they are. (baseball caps, loud mouths, yobbish behaviour etc)
Those who are familiar with them may find this amusing
I was with my G/F in Oxford in the main shoppping area when we came across an 'Edinburgh Wool' Shop. Interested to see what they had I wandered in (despite the protests of my partner who probably thought I would emerge with a few more kilts for my collection!)
at the back of the shop I found the modest collection of kilts they had (no more than 6 or 7) and was shocked and stunned to see a well-made kilt of high quality decorated with BURBERRY!!!!! 
I recoiled and nearly ran screaming from the shop in terror, who in their right mind would wear such a thing???....then I had a thought, perhaps this is the way of teaching the Chav culture in Britain that kilts are cool.....don their symbol of chav culture (I use the word 'culture' very loosely here) and parade around town wearing it. Next thing you know, the little rascals would all be wearing them!! No more pointing and staring...we'd finally be accepted! (If only by Chavs)
Unfortunately this isn't a serious thread, if only it were as simple as all that for the kilt to be accepted as part of popular culture :rolleyes:

1) I'm quite certain you'd be hard-pressed to find a chav in a kilt - track suits seem to be more their speed.
2) Could a chav afford a well-made kilt?
I'm not averse to the Burberry colors, but are you sure it was actually the Burberry tartan and not one of the others that closely resemble it?
I shudder to wonder at what a chav might use for a sporran.

Burberry tartan?
Well, it sounds bizarre, but isn't the Burberry plaid a tartan? Is it a genuine tartan? (Matt, help!) :confused:

It's not really all that bad. The kilt's probably a piece of crap, but the plaid looks pretty good. It's just that the idea is so grotesque!

Unless you flipped the picture into a mirror image with Photoshop that's not a true kilt. Notice, the upper apron folds and closes on the left. I'm I'm remembering correctly, only ladie's pleated skirts close on the left. Men's kilts close to the right.

This isn't the actual kilt they had on sale in Edinburgh Wool, the colour was what I was thinking of :rolleyes:

The Burberry check as it's know is a registed trade mark and was first used by the company as a linning for its famous trench coat in 1920...Just thought I'd say...I'll shuffle off now....
Ps. A little Norwegian interest Burberry actually made the tents Amundsen used for his South Pole expedition

One of my early kilts was made from tan Burberry upholstery cotton.

Chavs might get themselves a bit of credibility if they ditched the trackies and donned a buberry kilt!!
