The Knights Templars should be very happy.

Not me, but it wouldn't do to write them on a family forum like this.

To be honest, Chas, if it's not tartan or tweed it looks like a skirt to me. I'm quite liberal in most things and I find some of the innovations in Highland dress interesting, but I'm pretty traditional when it comes to the kilt itself. I have yet to buy my first kilt but I'm pretty sure I'll never own a Utilikilt or some other such garment - I'm not sure I'd ever own a casual kilt, either. I'm not gonna knock anyone who does, mind you, but they just don't seem right to me.

I guess you can figure out my position relative to the kilt wannabe in the OP. I have as much English as Scottish blood in me, but I'd never wear such a garment...well, maybe as an after shower wrap

.

Regards,

Brian

I can see where there is a market for this kilt... football matches, rugby matches, and the sort.. and why not...

Looks more like a bath towel to me, would NOT find it the least bit attractive! In fact, I can see the humor in the English wearing something so ugly.
