White Kilt
This might sound a bit silly...
I play bowls (Flat Green), and I've spoken to our National governing body the Engkish Bowling Association and they say that kilt wearing is acceptable for matches if it is part of your National Costume.
I've played in my traditional 9yd wool Campbell kilts and it was really soooo comfortable even in 32 degrees.
For friendly matches and County Competitions we wear white below the waist and our club shirts.
Does anybody know of a source/supplier or maker of a GOOD, smart white kilt (not cream but almost brilliant white) here in the UK (preferably in Scotlan).
I thought about 10yds or there abouts. It obviously needs to be a male garment....no female 'kilted skirt' type of thing will do.
I'm very reluctant to use ebay...I need to make sure the fit is perfect for playing.
Hope somebody comes up with a few suggestions.
Many thanks in advance,
Jim

with the number of kiltmakers here, I am sure someone can get you taken care of. If you are willing to have a US kiltmaker sew one up, then I am certing without a doubt that one can be crafted to suit your needs.

The list of what he doesn't have would be shorter would it not?

I agree...I'm sure there is nae a kilt he doesn't have, or soon will!
I do wonder...what is the most outlandish kilt Hamish does own?

I vote for the rainbow kilt. At least that was the first one that popped into my head.

Hey Tartanjaz,
Thats a most angelic white kilt Ham has. Looks perfect.
Its ALL wrong for what you asked, and they don't make it anymore, but the old natural white Utilikilts Workman's would have made a nice "warmup" kilt or practice kilt. Would probably need to be bleached a bit whiter than it comes.
I believe Ham has one in his collection too.
