A Modern Kilt Company in South Africa

Okay, okay, this surprises even me (I am rarely surprised these days). Lets see, kilts are made in Scotland, America, Canada, Pakistan, and now South Africa. How many more countries have a kilt manufacturer/retailer?

Kilts are becoming the garment that R. A. Heinlein imagined they would become in his novel "Methuselah's Children"; the novel mentions kilts in the first few chapters in such a way as to convey that they have either replaced or matched usage of pants; even the police wear kilts in the novel.

Heinlein...a true visionary!

Looks like a decent product. I'm curious about what it would cost to import to the states. I like the pocket setup...and I don't even like visible pockets on kilts. I'm surprised I couldn't find any reviews elsewhere...maybe one of the members in SA has dealt with them.

The rugby kilts are pretty interesting...if I can find some suitable material I might make a Seahawks kilt.

They also sell p@nt$, so I could add new patterns to my collection of camo trousers too.

You can add Australia and New Zealand to your list and as was pointed out in another thread, where do you think Scottish weavers get the bulk of their wool from to make the kilting fabric?

Not sure where you wool import expert data comes from, but I remember coming across some reading that implied wool produces in the UK have more than they know what to do with

I think you will find that merino wool, primarily produced in Australia and New Zealand is the preferred type by the woollen mills of Scotland.

The Police in Bethlehem, PA have worn kilts to the Celtic Classic: http://articles.mcall.com/2006-09-21...-officers-wear
