I'm curious about why buy a kilt with horse riding in mind? If you wish to show your ancestory & ride a horse why not commision a pair of tartan riding breeches - sure the original style trews yould be ideal for this or even a true pair of knee breeches? This is more traditional on horseback.


If you're wanting a kilt bhorseback.for off the horse wear, but wear breeches for riding if you're wanting a purpose designed garnment and wear the kilt off the horse.

Or if you must have tartan whilst riding but don't want trews then wear normal riding breeches and a plaid either worn as a fly plaid cloak style or belted and kilted over the top of them. Or alternatively a pair of riding breeches and a jacket and or waistcoat made in your clan tartan (similar to baggot's hussars, indeed a kilt cut jacket may be better suited for riding than a normal length one?

Bith options are more true to tradition than wearing a phillabeg on horseback?
