A White Kilt Kit

[davedove]

I would agree on the white kilt, but if you want a white jacket you can either have one made of find a shop that sells uniforms to cruise ship employees. A captains mess jacket would work fine.

This shop sells jackets that ought to work with a kilt, especially the ones at the bottom of the page:

If you shop around, you can also find Prince Charlies in white or cream. One of these days, way down on the priority list, I may get one of these just to have a "white dinner jacket" option.

Those work but I was actually talking about this style,



Minus the boards and with silver buttons it works great with no alterations. It already has the cutaway that works well with the kilt. The price from Marlow White isn't to bad but you can do better if you source it from a uniform store that supplies cruise ship officers.

If you can't find them online you can try a Miami directory.

Has anyone seen any pictures of the white Prince Charlies? It would be interesting to see how they look.

This looks really close to the military white mess jackets. Those look great with a kilt too, as long as you civilianize them (change buttons, remove rank insignia, etc.). Actually, they look grea with all that stuff too, but that's not really authorized.

Riverkilt's gallery has a pic or two of him in a white utilikilt

My only bit of advice is that you get the two (jacket and kilt) made together. Otherwise, even the slightest difference in the material colour will stand out.

A SOLID white kilt?

Uh.......

What about a dress tartan, instead. They often have a lot of white in them...

A SOLID white kilt?

Think: Cab Calloway in a kilt.

A large array of dress tartans can be viewed here...

Greetings,

I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could get a white kilt and jacket to match. It might be awhile before I aquire it, but if anyone has any resources I'm not familiar with, I'd be quite appreciative.

I know that none other than the famous Hamish has a white kilt, but please re-consider!

A white kilt would show the smallest of dirt and grime, just ask any naval officer or enlisted man. The white uniform is generally dispised for just that reason. It only looks good for about the first fifteen minutes of wear.

A white jacket, married with a classick tartan would look so much better.

Please think long and hard before you invest any money in a white kilt!
