    Ok - I'd never wear one - but I'm not the target market for this style kilt. As others have said - I think we need to use some care when discussing kilt options. Acrylic, PV, Wool, Tank, Jeep (sorry Steve), or whatever... we all have our preferences and our addictions.

    Thanks for letting me quack.

    Oh, did we decide on "Jeep?" Funny! At $26, does that make it a Yugo?

    It's a Ford Pinto kilt then...
    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    It qualifies as a kilt by my standards but then my standards are pretty loose. The kilt is evolving, as it must, and this may be a branch that doesn't make it. They're all good it's just that some are better.

    There are only two sizes available, XS and 2X.

    What's with the boots?
    It's like big wheels and a airfoil on a 4 cylinder compact car.

    I have to agree it is not for me, but then neither are sagging baggy trousers that reveal a second cleavage, nor piercings, nose rings, and I could go on, and on, but I won't. I remember a boy in my class when I was about eight or so who latched onto me like a cockle-burr. (the original inspiration for velcro). Years later when we were both grown we met again, and he said I was the only kid in the class who treated him decently. I didn't know it at the time, it was just the way I was raised. He had only one shirt, one pair of trousers, his shoes had holes, and the like. NEVER judge a person by their looks or choice of apparel! I'll climb down now.

    I can only imagine what the scots in the homeland say about the UK's that I wear. I think it might be quite similar to what has been posted in this forum about Tripp kilts. Keep in mind that Tripp is targeting a completely different market, just as contemporary kilt makers here are. Live and let wear.
