Worst. Kilt. Ever.

[Pleater]

The only kilt I ever bought was to be used as a pattern - but it was more in the way of a dreadful warning.

It was of course an eBay special, man made fabric black watch sort of tartan. It was made of several pieces of flawed material joined together, had signs of previously being pleated differently, had been pressed with an iron set too hot so it was polished in a couple of places, was made with a piece of rigid reinforcement, some sort of plastic foam I think, behind the pleats so there was no posibility of shaping - the waist and hip measurements are the same.

The buckles and straps were not worth the bother of removing them to reuse, nor the material of sufficient quality to be reclaimed.

.. And, with a belly like mine the only thing that funny little front waist pocket is good for is to cut off and make flashes out of it.

Cool idea, now this thread is edumacational too

As far as worst, the Nova Scotia tartan "designed in Scotland", wrong advertised size kilt I sold on Ebay, having bought it there and never worn because it was about 4 inches bigger than it claimed on the tag inside.

CT - I'm gonna do that with my Hawaiian tartan SK.

Never had a bad kilt because I never bought a cheap kilt, never bought a mail order kilt, and never bought from one of the shysters on The Royal Mile. You get what you pay for and, sadly, cheap is cheap. Caveat Emptor, Scotty!
