Tell you what. I've often known an old post I was looking for and have had to spend a LOT of time being creative with my search words to bring it up. A more daunting task for a newcomer to the board.

Me, I enjoy newcomer enthusiasm. It keeps the board juicy for me. And...who knows what new board members since the last thread have to contribute?

Here here!! What he said... as usual.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Hottopic's carrying "kilts"....No worries here.

The problem is... they're just NOT very flattering. Grunge is long gone, and kilted grunge never was as far as I know. So what's the point? Look at the Real McKenzies. Punk Celtic band in kilts well above the ankles

the only complaint i have about it is it looks like someone was drunk when they pleated it

otherwise i think it looks nice for a contemporary style

A start in the right direction.

I wouldn't have any problem with it (even if it's not my cup of tea) were it not so long. Long kilts = ugly.

I saw a pic where it was worn right, and that makes a difference. Nobody at Hot Topic probably knows enough to tell their customers how to wear a kilt.

I saw a couple of these this weekend at the Celtic Heritage Festival in Bedford. They probably would have looked okay at a Sex Pistols or Clash concert, but they were terribly out of place at the Festival, especially when viewed next to more traditional kilts.

I think they are great and if only I was 25 years younger I'd probably wear one. I'm sure though, I'd get more than a few funny looks if I stepped out in one now!
