Contemporary Kilts -- a Visual guide....

[Jock Scot]

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.

I hear what you are saying and fully comprehend. I wonder how you as a "full blooded contemporary kilt man" so to speak, would judge, by look mainly, as we normally only see a picture on this website, the outfit of Meal Coluim's under discussion. I have no wish to start a row here, but purely as a discussion in kilt theory, I would be very much interested in what you say.
