Mini-kilt suitability

They're great lookin on the female of the species On a guy they become a skirt

I think that mini kilts would look ridiculous on a man of my age (62), so to answer your question I would not wear a mini kilt at any time

[Woodsheal]

Just say NO...!

THis is a kilt from Kiltstore. It is really well made, but when we did the measurements, we (wife and I both) misunderstood the measurements, so I wound up with my own mini-kilt. I gave it to my daughter.



The length is marginal here, but if I wore it anywhere near my normal kilt waist....well you get the idea.

That's a little shorter than my BK was, it really felt uncomfortable when sitting down (my knees ain't purty).

While I wouldn't wear one, I don't see an issue with it.

I don't know what makes it any less of a viable option than any other non-traditional kilt. It makes no sense to me that a UtiliKilt is a manly garment, but a traditional kilt that hits mid-thigh is considered less than masculine.

We are for all intense and proposes just a bunch of men in skirts, I would like to think that while we may not care for a certain style we would not resort to calling in non-masculine.

Maybe to wear around the house, but I think sitting in a public place without flashing the world might be difficult, but of course it depends on how "mini" the mini is? Undies would probably be a must. Are we talking a 22 inch drop or an 18 inch drop? Can't really evaluate until I try it or see it on someone else.

in desperate attempt to mock me, a friend showed up on st. patty's day at this irish pub/restarunt I sometimes go to (its more of a family restaurnt setting), now he walked into 3 others kilted including myself. he was clad in a ren fest looking shirt, bright blue socks stretched to his knees, tennis shoes, and a peice of tartan (looked remarkably like the Xmarks tartan) cloth no more the 15inches wide wrapped around him at his waist and then help up with a piece of rope.

that was terrible. but, the poor girl at the desk wouldn't let him into the restaurnt in his poor choise of clothing. haha!

the best part of it was, he drove home, and put some real clothing on and had to come back. and the other kilted guys much older, man they gave him hell for it!

long story short, after I saw that, I don't want anything to do with it again, (unless it involves young attractive women, but thats another story )

Personally, I would not buy or wear a "mini". If my significant other decides to wear a shorter length, I'll let her decide on how long. On some women they are very attractive, on others they look like the mule's breakfast.

A mini-kilt is simply that a mini kilt. It is not a kilt by definition, any more than a tee shirt is truely a shirt. Men wear kilts. Only my opinion. Whatever floats your boat. I just know, my legs aren't great, so a mini kilt would only show off more of a not great feature - no wise cracks.
