Contemporary Kilts -- a Visual guide....

[Mael Coluim]

I have been trying to work on a Modern Kilt Wear post similar to what was done for the Traditional kilt wear sticky.

But frankly I need some help.

If anyone is willing to help out please contact me via PM. I need someone to look through the forum for pics and I need some help with the writing.

Come on folks, let's finally get something up as a good guide for our other members.

Here's a thought, Steve. Can we use this thread to submit how we wear our contemporary kilts? Then you and the other editors will have some postings to consider being on the Contemporary Kilt sticky.

For instance

One of the strengths of wearing contemporary kilts is the material and method made. I live in Virginia and currently experiencing some very hot and humid weather. Poly Viscose (PV) fabric kilts are my go to kilts on these days. I have PV USA Kilts in semi-traditional and casual styles. Today, I went with my Casual USA Kilt in XMTS tartan. I wanted less material around my waist.

This look is suitable for the office where I work. And it will be 'the bomb' when I go the Céilidh tonight at our local brewery, The Blue & Gray.

The hose are made of cotton from Sockdreams. They are cool in both ways of the word for hot summer wear. I prefer wearing flashes with them. I double them up to shorten their length.The Dixiecat bonnet is not as hot as you would think. Its my go to cover with top down driving. It has a self tie band so I can snug her down.

My shirt is seersucker blend from LL Bean. Very comfortable. The sporran is L&M. Simple and functional. I like to wear my sporran strap buckle on my ride side so it doesn't catch on the upholstery of the TR. It has become my way of wearing it all the time. That kilt pin is from the local Craft Store JoAnn's. My kilt pin of choice with nearly all my kits now.
