German kilt?

[Blu (Ontario)]

The garments shown are a significant departure from the traditional kilt. They look like something designed for mass production.

Indeed! It matches my vision of what kilts would look like when they're "readily available at K-Mart."

There's no apron! I don't know if I would even call it a kilt. It's more of a cheap, sewn-up plaid blanket than a kilt. I purposfully used 'plaid' instead of 'tartan' because I would never equate the sacred tartan to a product like that.

I've seen several of this kind at festivals this past year.
It seems to be part of the young Goth look over here.
Hopefully it is just a passing fad.

I have seen some nice traditional kilts also. Mostly at Medieval Fests. These are similar to, but different from the Ren Faires in the States. The Medieval Fests have people dressed in a wider timeframe and from more different cultures (like the Vikings, or Crusaders).

Another difference is the Medieval Fests are often held at castles or towns that date back several hundred years.

Yes,sir, that is so!

I have come across them some time ago - terrible, , it was the first time I really thought the name "kilt" had to be trademarked ...

But there are kiltmakers in Germany, Syriel for example, and me!!! I have my first kilt order that is not for friends or family!! :beer:
