The non-tartan contemporary kilt thread

kc8ufv was making some sort of X-kilts with tdifferent colors of pleats a while back, and that caught my interest. Can't remember if the front and back of the pleats were different, or if each whole pleat was a different color. Either would be interesting.

Here is a heavy cotton twill in Forest Green from our very own Jeanie at AltKilt at the Great Wall.

At one point during my climb I thought I would never make much of an ascent because I was being asked to have my picture taken every 10 feet (and that on the lower portion is not an exaggeration). Trust me I know it was the kilt and not my mug.

Utilikilts has come out with a new model today which should prove to be ... interesting.

This Buzz Kidder is my working kilt for my part-time job in the sporting goods department of a local Walmart. As it is kaki it conforms to their uniform requirement of wearing kaki/tan p@nts. Also, it’s my working kilt at Highland Games when I am setting up my Clan tent or camping out.

It's easy to keep the pleats pressed with my hand steamer. It was a great purchase for $99 and free shipping a few years, ago.

Drats, I don't have a pic of the Breast cancer awareness kilts from the Ventura games. In our ladies group pic, you can't see Beth's and Shannon had already changed out of hers.
Bethany rocked that flame kilt, it looks great and suits her!

This is mine from alt.kilt. Looooooove it!!

Were you thinking of this X-Kilt?

Pleats are all black on the outside, with the back wall of the box pleat rotating between pink, purple, and blue. I just wish I hadn't bleached the pink and purple quite as much as I did, but the original colors of the fabric were way way to strong for what I was after.
