where would a man shop for a pleated skirt, oops i mean kilt i have yet to see them in the mens department here in texas
Yer nae wrong there buddy!!!Check your local scottish import store, they have them in metro areas for sure in texas. A kilt is a heavy mans garment. They make kilt skirts for women. A kilt usually has about 43 pleats in the back and you can fit 2/3rd of your hand under each pleat.
edit: and an actual kilt, (not the stupid ones you see at rennasance fairs) will run you around $350.
Yes, the entire costume can easily run you well over a grand. Most of my uniform was given to me by a pipe band out of minnessota. Its been years since Ive gotten all dressed up.Yer nae wrong there buddy!!!
You also have to think of:
The cost of a Sporran, these can be anything from 30 bucks or ($£ 200-300) especially the silver ones.
Kilt belt, at least 30 bucks,
Buckle for kilt belt - how long is a bit of string.
If you want to go the whole hog, a good pair of Prince Charlie brogues will set you back a fair wack.
Of course yer shank, or as it is called Sgian Dubh (promounced roughly - Ski and Doo)
Guess what, you don't need undies!! It's the warmest place known to man. So slight saving there.
So that's the bottom, now you got to decide on what top. Jackets can again, range from prices £75 (2nd hand) up to 100's of £'s or $'s.
But when you wear a kilt. I can guarantee you will have more women flocking round you than any trouser wearing man!!! And it's amazing how many women want to actually see cock!!
The standard kilt:
3 weights of material, Indoor, Medium, and Outdoor.
The average piece of wool used is 8 yards.
My kilt has 30 pleats, not sure if there is anything important about that.
There are generally several type of kilts you can buy from each clan, which are Ancient Hunting, Ancient Dress, and Modern Hunting and Modern Dress tartans.
The common style kilt was actually introduced by the Victorians. Traditional kilts where purely died wool that was wrapped around the wearer. These could then be used as tents for example if you had to bed down for the night. (these are now more commonly seen in Pipe bands where the kilts come over the shoulder.
And here endeth my kilt rant.
Not funny pics, but a cool shot of my 6 yr old nephew, and my own kilt.
Ok, still not funny, but cool as http://www.bestofyoutube.com/story.php?title=rally-driver-ken-block-shows-off-his-skills
