Re: Kilt length

I had some issues with proper kilt length. I initially was getting indirect advice from the hardcore kilt dudes. I did as they said and wore the top of my kilt 3 inches above my navel(which I think looks ridiculous on me.) Then I had a moment of clarity and remembered I just wanted to wear the kilt ...

Re: First time wearing a traditional kilt in public

I really would like to get a traditional kilt - along with bagpipes of course! That however costs money and I understand it takes 7 or 8 meters of cloth to make a traditional kilt.

Re: Mcpacker

@janrok Thank you for the welcome. A whole new world of comfort has been opened up for me! @couyalair More men should definitely rock skirts. I'm happy to be an ambassador in my neck of the woods. I do know back in the day most warriors wore skirts. According to the Romans only primitive savages wor...

Hi I'm Michael. I am a 33 year old disabled Veteran and live in Minneapolis,MN. I'd like to share my journey to skirts for men: In June 2010 I was at a music festival and noticed that Utilikilts had a shop. I was wearing cotton cargo shorts and have never worn a skirt before. When I tried a UK on an...
