22nd Century kilts

[Nick the DSM]

In a science fiction story by Robert Heinlein they have kilts (and other clothes) available to purchase at kiosks all over.
You just punch in your dimensions, select the style of clothing, color, etc... pay your money and it weaves and sews it in minutes for your approval.

i'd love that!

i'd like one when pleats stay down even after a hard days use!

We are all ready seeing modern updates on the traditional kilt and kit.

Alex (cessna152touser) has a tradional kilt whose wool tartan has been sprayed or impregnated with a water/stain repellent.

Steve (The Wizard of BC) makes tradtional kilts with hidden pockets.

Jerry (Sciuropterus) designed and had produced a sporran that took the traditional design and updated it with practical comparents and modern materials.

Cold Steel used to make a sgian dubh out of tough modern materials using modern manufacturing methods that held to the style of the traditional ones (sorry folks that model is discontinued)


The future is now

But the tartan of my wool kilt will be out of date:
it's the Twenty-First Century tartan from Geoffrey...

I like it! But, that'll rip the guts out of the handmade market! Mind, I suppose you could pay for downloadble tartans a bit like downloadable music??

And the advertising industry would hop onboard and we'd see ads for almost everything! Where's my AdBlock?

Or maybe, by the 22nd Century common sense will have prevailed..

Common sense? Heh, think about that for a moment

Some of you have sick and twisted minds!!!!!

What do you mean some of us??

Anyone that has a cat like yours that wears Jammies,night cap,bunny slippers,and drinks coffee in the morning can not be all there.

I have a dog but he only drinks coffee,but i must confess he does wear a kilt now an then.

A "Scottish Independence" tartan.

I like Ron's idea best. Sense is anything BUT common today, sadly.

I could go for a fabric that was genuinely fireproof, but not unpleasant to wear.
