    The web pics don't do anything for me, I would like some better pics focusing more on the kilts, rather than the models.

    Some look pretty good, but how they are really designed, how they are worn or "fit", it would be nice to see.

    You know - "Real" pics

    Upon further review, and much thought, I find them very unique and somewhat inspiring to those who are not kilted as yet. Maybe because we are some what accustomed to the more traditional look in kilts or the Utilikilt, Amerikilt genre. My guess is that they are trying to be in competition with TFC Kilts.

    Granted if I was the around the age of 20 I am sure that I probably be purchasing one.

    Gman, to be honest, if I had a body like the models in those pics, I would wear one as well!

    What's wrong with the Abercrombie catalog? That was like getting free soft-core porn!

    That reminds me of a white water rafting trip a few years before I got injured at work.

    We used to go white water rafting on the New River every summer with friends. We'd go and camp over Friday night, raft all day Saturday, camp Saturday night and return to DC on Sunday. That year a friend of mine from Yale was with us. She was studying psychology at the University of Maryland as a grad student. She specialized in women's abuse issues and is definitely a feminist. Well, across the driveway from the camp ground run by the rafting company is a rural bar and grill which we always go to for drinks. That night Marge was still getting her tent set up up so she said she'd meet us at the bar. Well, when we got to the bar my spouse Nopadon (who always enjoys teasing Marge) told the locals that we had a stripper coming named Marge. When Marge walked in we called out to her "Hey Marge, you're finally here!"

    Well that got the rest of the bar yelling "YEAY - MARGE IS HERE!"

    Well she walks in and has no clue what's going on. Even better she comes over the our table and instead of sitting down leans against a support poll for the roof and asks if we're ready for her! That just get's the place really roaring.

    We finally let her in on the joke after a few drinks and she actually agreed to it! But only if I agreed to strip with her. I was in excellent shape at the time so I said sure. Well the guys gave her money to take it off, and me money to leave it on!

    Of course the next day she couldn't believe what she'd done or that in the end she went back to her tent with the phone number of the WAITRESS!!!!

    Guilty Killts is a small set-up which sells (occasionally at weekends) from a market stall in London's Camden Market. The kilts are aimed at the Goth/funky crowd - as is almost everything else at Camden Market!! Otherwise they are looking to recruit retail stockists - they're not really interested in retailing themselves.

    I have seen and handled one of those kilts and it was, as I expected it to be, rather poorly made and from gutless fabric. For what they are, these kilts are very expensive.

    In no way are they trying to compete with TFCK! TFCK would not dream of putting out anything as badly made as these things are.

    Just my sixpennyworth - I'd hate to see anyone here parting with their £ (or $) on a Guilty Kilt.

    Thanks Ham,

    Glad to hear that you have checked them out. Over priced and gutless fabric is not for me.

    [QUOTE=Iolaus]There were a couple of kilts that caught my eye, but I coulda' done without the "lower waisted" thing! ...and yeah, they do have some cool pins.

    I kind of like the lower waisted kilt thing, not for me of course, but think of all of those teens out there wearing their jeans that low with the boxers showing over the top. Maybe it could be a way of switching them into kilts. Then, all we would have to do is to figure how to get them to bring the kilts up to a normal kilt waist, and they would discover the freedom a kilt allows, no matter how high it is worn.
