Hawaiian Print - "Traditional Kilt"

[Monkey@Arms]

His family is of mixed Polynisian and Scottish blood. Most of the men in his family either wear the "Lava Lava" (spelling?) or the kilt. His grand mother made his kilt for him. It is georgeous! If you can visualize it, it was pleated to sett, meaning that the pattern from the front apron continued across the back, just like in a tartan.

I must say that this kilt - and I know of no other name for it, was just beautiful.

Has any one of you seen anything similar?

A full kilt, made with non-traditional, no-tartan cloth?

And, yes I have seen the UK made from cami material, but never a Hawaiian print.

Well even if he hadn't said that his Grandmother made it, it couldn't have been a UK, because they've never made a traditionally styled kilt regardless of the material. They did make a UK-styled Hawaiian print kilt though, Way2Fractcious has one.

Panache took this picture of a traditionally styled kilt, pleated to sett using non-traditional fabric. I like it!
