Utilikilt's are not really trad, and so are not really suitable for business wear. Besides, Sporrans are more fun than pockets... (och, laddie, reach into me sporran & get me car-keys...)

I have a kitty named Haggis, Lash. She is an itty-bitty Scottish Fold, and a more foul tempered cat would be hard to find. She is very cute, though. Her full name is Haggis Matilda Stewart McCat.:D

I LOOVE to eat Haggis, but I'll spare Haggis Matilda Stewart McCat on account of her cute name !!

Can't wait to see pics. :) If I'd known you had a Clan in mind I would have picked up a Graham scarf when we were there! As it is, I probably bought the "Rape and Pillage Clan" scarf.

.....God, I'd hate to be pillaged !

Clan Macintosh here. Although the kilt I have is not Macintosh tartan

Is that a jab at PC's ? :p

Since Pakoras Umbridge (so named by the Stoat for the amazing resemblance sans English ethnicity) started all of this workplace dress code shyt, I've kinda been thinking about the footwear.

No open-toed shoes for you Jim Lad...and who knows, perhaps Pakoras may end up wearing the size 10's where the sun don't shine.

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

No, just a humourous coincidence. I looked up my lineage at a Scottish festival a few years ago and made the discovery.

I disagree 100%. True, it's not a traditional kilt, but to say it's not a kilt seems like denial to me.

I love wearing my Utilikilt to work, Disneyland, grocery shopping, or anywhere I want to feel unbifurcated.

As a re-enactor, I say it isn't a real kilt.

Oh, you otherly-world mundanes may think it is; but pre-1595, it is not.

By that standard, none of the typical Victorian dress kilts are "real" kilts either.

I know nothing of Victorian Kilts. Mine is Scottish (and it may very well not be correct either for all I know).

It's worth saying again - If it's not Scottish, it's crap. ;)

This kind of outfit is Victorian in origin (it was first seen in the mid 19th century). In other words, what most people think of when they hear "kilt". (And I think they look perfectly silly.)

This is a manly man's kilt!
