Wow, finally a cool Kilt forum!

I'm a long time wearer of the great kilt, but recently acquired my first Utilikilt, and the concept of the philabeg is really growing on me. As much as I dig my UK, their prices leave alot to be desired. Just being here today has turned me on to tons of NON zillion dollar Utilikilt options.

Oh, and the pic in my avatar is one I took at Glenfinnan while on my honeymoon, many years ago.

Thanks!

W00tz! Another one!
When you say feilidh beag, you mean untailored single wide, and not a tailored kilt, correct? They are great fun, and work well for someone who is a little more historically minded, when the weather, or personal preference don't make wearing the belted plaide desireable.

There are a lot of options for kilts, many of them are site supporters, and from my experiences friendly, knowledgable folk.

Good times!

What I was specifically referring to was the "concept" of the smaller kilt. I dig the great kilt and all, but after 10 years of all that pleating, arranging, folding, brooching, and tucking just to get into it, it really gets old after a while.

My UK is awesome, 2 minutes, and I'm done.
