Modern take on the kilt?

[Steve Ashton]

Having a suit from 21st Century Kilts is, admittedly, one of the things on my want list. I wasn't a fan of the pocket style, at first, but it's grown on me, in terms of looks, plus possible utility (more pocket space than a single, day-wear sporran), and maybe comfort.

I do wonder if the pockets' insides are strengthened in any way, though. I could see a set of keys damaging the inside, after a lot of wear.

One of the hallmarks of the Contemporary style kilts is the inclusion of pockets into the design. They are not just stuck on as an afterthought.
But we cannot skip the hallmark of Durability which is so important. Durability = Longevity.

To last, pockets must have re-reinforcements to keep their shape when loaded, and to keep things like keys from poking holes in the expensive wool.

The definition of a Contemporary kilt is - One made like, that will swish like, a traditional kilt. Built with full stabilizer and interfacings, but incorporating changes to address the issues of Durability - Fit - Fabric and Pockets. What I call the DFF&P.
