New modern kilts

Do not despair because you want and need pockets. It can be done. Even in a Tartan kilt.

How about pockets, a Plain colored kilt and a more traditional sporran?

yep.

And even with a Camo kilt.

It can be done. Just try it and see how you like the look.

Excellent examples!

I also believe that Alt.kilt will provide you with any number of pockets you want. From memory there was a notifiication on thier facebook page, a little while back, that they now do side slant pockets as well. I am sure if you contact them that they will give you the whole rundown.

Thanks all for your comments. Steve, thanks for the pictures and I really do like the kilts you make but (dont take offense) your prices are similar to Utilikilt. Anything more than 150.00 is too much for me.

I've asked several of the modern kilt companies if they could add slash pockets and rear pockets. Most said no, they only make them the ways advertised. Guess I'll just have to get used to all my junk in the cargo pockets.

If I'm gonna wear a sporran and kilt hose, I might as well put on my tank. Dressing up is nice every once in a while but I prefer the modern kilt to blue jeans and I wear them in that way. Hiking boots, crew length socks and ANY color of t-shirt I have.

Has anybody bought a www.Alphakilts.com ? I'm really liking the box pleated one. Thats probably the next one I'll get. If you have one, please let me know how you like it! Thanks

I have a black twill kilt that I wear. It has pockets. Sometimes I wear a sporan with it -- sometimes not. I never wear hose with it though. Either boots or sandals usually.

Guiness>water,

I was not trying to sell you one of my kilts. You already stated that your budget was tight.

I was showing pictures of what is possible. There really is no reason any kilt can't have pockets if you wish. Even an 8yard hand sewn Tartan kilt can have pockets.

I was trying to show that even a very modern kilt could look right paired with more traditional accessories.

Nothing more than using examples from my own kilts to make a point. I guess I could have tried to find photos like mine from some other maker but then I'd have to get permission to use the photos, and frankly, there are not a lot of us out there putting pockets in a kilt than looks and swishes like a kilt should.

But never let the lack of pocketed kilt makers stop you. It is possible.

Tell me to MYOB, but as one who has learned from my first kilt until today, sometimes holding off on a purchase and taking a little longer to put some money aside is a smarter move. I will be one to admit that I have made the mistake. As far as AltKilt I HIGHLY recommend them, they are great kilts and the box pleats look great.
