What do you think of this kilt?

**ANP3** · 27th November 11, 11:41 PM

This is a kilt by a kilt maker in NY ( I think) and when I saw it sturck because of it's originality. I love the look and when the cash comes my way, I'm definatly going to pick one up. So, what do you guys think about this little piece of awsome called the "wee kilt"?

I realize I spelled the title wrong, it was a mistake I didn't catch.

I'm passing on this one.........Just not my cup of tea....

It is a bit extreme - maybe a cord or narrow belt over the top to hold down the folded over part would be an idea?

I fixed the title using my moderator powers, by the way.

Nick - I don't think it is a kilt. For the price they are charging, you could buy a real one.

And no one would laugh at you.

Sorry to be so brutal, but you could be making a big and costly mistake.

I did look at their modern kilt pricing... $900

Some nice looking shirts though...

Wolfstone Kilts is a vendor at the Maryland Renaisance Fair. The idea behind the "wee kilt" is the lower half of a great kilt in appearance, without the need to hand pleat it every time you put it on. So it's really a costume piece.

I agree with Chas. The ensemble looks cheaply made and bit dodgy to me. I'd purchase a kilt from a reputable kilt-maker, mate.

Cheers,

Um... Are we all talking about the same thing?

That's the picture I got from that link. It looks pretty kilt-like to me...

The "battle kilt" looks pretty terrible- but they're using one of the belts that we make at my place of employment, so I can't complain too much.

However, for a wee kilt, that's extremely expensive! You can get one here:

Please not that it's $80 as opposed to $400. The material is a lighter weight, but is more period authentic in appearance. Worsted wool fabric is modern. The ones from Celtic Croft look much more correct, and are nice and cool in the summer.
