    Camo

    I do wear camo for hunting (Realtree hardwoods), but that is one situation where I couldn't wear a kilt. I am more of a traditionalist, and other than a Blackwatch or Royal Stewart, I would only wear kilts of clans to which I have some connection. These are MacNeil of Barra and Gordon. I'm seriously looking at a new kilt in "Dress Gordon". I really like that black, white, and grey look. Bear, be on the lookout for an order from Va.

    So I'm about the LAST guy around here that you would think would be seen in a camo kilt! However, when deer hunting in western Pennsylvania, there's nothing better for the task. Deep down, I feel a little more "old school" when I wear it. I'm not about to do the whole Braveheart face-painting thing, but I just picture the antlers as a "crown" and it makes me concentrate even more.

    Like any other kilt... there's a time and a place. You just have to find it!8)

    There's nothing like a Potter county deer trip. Jimmy, you've got me itching to break out the rifle and disappear for a week.

    Of course if I apply a bit of talcum, the itching might go away.

    camouflage

    I don't have a camouflage kilt but the only advantage I can see to any camouflage clothing is, you are not as visable to others. so if you want to keep a low profile and not be seen the camouflage kilt is
    the answer!

    I have a tiger stripe camo kilt from Neokilts. I don't think anybody has ever thought it was a military kilt. My olive neotrad UK, however, is frequently mistaken for some kind of military kilt. For me, the camo kilt was just another color/pattern option. I just think it's interesting. I don't ascribe any other value to it.

    Camo is ok, but I'll pass on the tiger stripe. Some bad juju for me.

    Our Early muzzleloading season, here in Virginia opens at the end of this month. Since I'm a retired old fart, I'll be afield just about every day during the two weeks. Who cares if I get a buck or not, I just enjoy the h*** out of being there in the early fall weather.

    I made my own camouflage kilt and the first time I went out in it a lady came up to me and said "I have never seen a camouflage kilt before" "I said what do you think the Scots wear when they go to war" I left her very confused !!!
