Maybe this site is familiar to some of you. I just found this guy (nice little wife here too, sigh . . . sad.gif ) who's gone over to kilts all the time. That picture of him on the rocks with the sea behind him just turns me heart over. wub.gif Not just wearing it, but biking in it.

Notice the "Sporranos" t-shirt biggrin.gif

http://www.nucleus.com/~agingles/kilts.html

Is there anything more attractive than a man in a kilt? You lads that are wearing one all the time -- you simply make the world a better place king.gif .

Thanks!

Wish I could wear a kilt to work. Being a computer support tech, I have to crawl under peoples desks. That does not work too well in a kilt. rolleyes.gif

As long as we're onto kilts -- this is a beautiful website detailing the history of the kilt.

Kilts are fantastic. Unfortunately they're a little rare where I live.

And thanks for the link to that website, Stoirmeil.

Personally, I wouldnae' mind wearing a kilt... I'd just want to design my own pattern for my family first before I went about actually wearing one...

Aye! Tis a gran' thin' tae wear a kilt. When I was at th' games this last weekend, walkin' wi' one o' my girls, she said " You're getting looks." "Naw !" I said, "I'm jist an old fart, why whid the lasses be lookin' a' me?" "Well, they are" she told me.
Later I saw a sweet lass tha' deserved tae be turned aroond and looked at an' SHE WAS TURNED AROOND AN' LOOKIN" A' ME! Sae I guess tis true, th' lasses love 'em!

You know, crazykiltedcelt, if you're getting good with the kilts we ought to think about a business -- I'm really good with the jacobean shirts. I use the dancer's gussets under the arm for a 360-degree free swing to the sword arm. Never comes untucked.

I'm gettin' real anxious for our Celtic Festival that's coming up this month on the 18th and 19th....I'm sure there's gonna' be a lot of kilt's worth lookin' at.... dribble.gif

Hey that's a good idea. We should collect a bunch of kilt wearing members pictures and have Macfive set up a voting contest. He can use that as an excuse to give away some of his huge collection of CD's! rolleyes.gif wink.gif

Posted by: zeryx 07-Aug-2006, 01:26 AM
Ahhh but that could mean we ladies are excluded from the prize! lol

Maggie - you're right - I've VERY proud of my son - and thank you biggrin.gif

I think a kilt photo contest is a lovely idea! I'll PM Macfive about it.

Now there's a bit of sad news -- sad.gif the gentleman whose site I linked to does not actually bike in the kilt, for reasons of safety -- you really do need more protection than a kilt would give you. However, I think he is doing a great public service to the imagination just posing next to the bike in a black leather jacket and kilt.

The two young men look wonderful in their kilts, zeryx. Very manly.

I thought about you all today whilst out in town - and just HAD to snap this picture of an unsuspecting passerby wink.gif unfortunately he moved out of the perfectly framed photo I did have!

Hunk? Gentleman?? Wow, you must have me confused with someone else! tongue.gif

Thanks to Stoirmeil for her wonderful email and the link to this site. I've finally got my head out of the clouds enough for a first post. And yes, I'll be doing a proper intro in that section shortly. biggrin.gif

Fantastic music here, and what seems to be an interesting collection of forum members! The only member who I recognize so far is Graham (Tassiecelt) who I know from the Xmarksthescot kilt forum.

Now on to this thread...I'm not sure what I can add. As someone who's fast becoming an "old fart", I can't honestly recall the last time I was referred to as a "hunk". Does my heart good, though, and I thank everyone for their comments.

As Stoirmeil pointed out recently, I do not actually ride my Harley while kilted, although I have made very short trips around the neighbourhood on the bike while wearing my Utilikilt. Certainly good for bringing traffic to a standstill. Sorry, no pics. laugh.gif

I've been wearing kilts on a regualr basis for a little over 3 years now, and currently have 7 of them to choose from. I just ordered #8 last week, a traditional Irish Saffron kilt to honour my Irish roots. Looking forward to receiving that one, and yes, pics will be posted once it arrives.

Zeryx...your son looked great in his kilt!

And for the ladies with the wandering minds, I found this pic online. It's not me, but I thought you'd enjoy seeing it. biggrin.gif

Ahem. Not the kind of thing Prince Charles would be caught doing, I'm sure. Actually, even Prince Charles looks good in a kilt. I tell ya the things are miraculous.

Here's a lad who stood up for his kiltwearing rights. But the stupid article persists in calling it a SKIRT.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/26/AR2006012602013.html

In a way, this kind of ties in with the discussion we were having about kids' rights in school . . .

I recently discovered Youtube.com after looking for tartan terrors and tartanic videos lately. Its a marvel what they have as far as videos on that site. Even found enya videos and interviews. But if the lasses want a treat just type in "kilt" in the search and see what comes up.

I think kilts are hard to do, and you're pretty brave. I've only made a couple for myself, though, and I think it's harder to get it right for a woman's kilt. Men are more straight up and down -- the pleats following a stripe don't bend well across hip curves. smile.gif

What was the idea, and what happened to it? Just interested.

Posted by: crazykiltedcelt 08-Aug-2006, 01:45 PM
i thouht to use the under plets but that wolud make a very samll pocket. The under plet get in the way on the left side for pockets working around the problem, the frist plet being a deep one need to modife it to fit in the pocket,just need patices and time to work on it. Maybe friday the only day this week thats free. I shall perveil , this kilt will look good in the end. Got anew camra so picture will be forcoming as soon asI learnhow opertrae this camra and down it. My bright Son canhelp his old dad in thsi mod mod world. cool.gif

Posted by: Roberto Phoenix 08-Aug-2006, 05:32 PM
Maybe you can get some inspiration from Utilikilts or Amerikilts site. I know that Utilikilts has drawings of their kilts for you to click on. Might give you an idea on how to design it for pockets.

Zeryx: I had even found a video on how to fold the great kilt. Save myself a good $10-$20 finding it there rather than have some company send me instructions on a video tape I will probably watch only once

That is what takes so long, working on them only on days I'm on top of my game. A kilted life is the life for me!!

Here's another pic for the ladies. This one is me, but it's not on my web page. I wasn't happy with the quality of the picture as it looks too washed out. It was taken near the summit on the "Going to the Sun" highway in Glacier Nat'l Park, Montana a few weeks ago.

Great shot, Al G! You and the landscape grace each other very nicely. What beautiful country! That utilikilt really grows on a person -- the black doesn't look odd to me at all now.

You know? There's some similarity in the way you get yourself into an old-fashioned great kilt and the draping of a sari -- especially the temporary hand arrangement of pleats.

http://www.sari.org.in/

Scroll down to the instructions for draping. (Very pretty lady, too, lads.) smile.gif

I had a great kilted encounter once, probably 3 years ago in the middle of a Target department store. Now in middle Georgia, a Target store is NOT where you usually see a guy in a kilt. But I was there one day doing my shopping when to my astonishment I saw a very handsome, tall, dark-haired guy walking towards me with a kilt on. His T-shirt said something about supporting the wearing of kilts, and he grinned at me as he walked by (he was probably amused by the slack-jawed expression I was wearing).
As he passed, I turned to watch the view and burst out into applause. He never slowed a step but raised a hand in acknowledgement as he walked away!

cool.gif Sweet.

It would have even funnier if they had put some soccer or rugby balls in the window. Speaking of kilt stores I'm surprised Hot Topics has never carried them or something like them for the guys. It seems that they would stock that sort of merchandise. Maybe we should get a kilt campaign going.

There is an unbelievable varity (I believe over 5,000 at this point) but most tend to go with the family name tartans. that tends to be the Scottish rule of thumb. Irish tend to go with the county they live in. If you are neither Scottish or Irish you can get tartans of you're country (I've seen Amrerican, German, Canada, Italian (mine), Cornwall etc. If you live in the U.S.A. there is a good chance that there is a state tartan. I know Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota all have state tartans. There are also Corporation tartans, National tartans, job related tartans, etc. Good place to check is http://www.Electric Scotland.com

we do have a state tartan, and have even just gotten a Tricentennial tartan for our city. Unfortunately I don't like either of them. Maybe I'll let him choose one and I'll get a matching one. I have heard that women aren't supposed to wear kilts...is that true?

Posted by: Dogshirt 10-Aug-2006, 10:43 PM
Technically, no, women don't wear the kilt. But there are women that play in pipe bands that do. Part of the uniform.
There are also what are called "Open Tartans" like The Blackwatch, Royal Stewart, Dress Gordon (Mine) and a few others. Open means anyone can wear them.

Posted by: ballydun 10-Aug-2006, 11:03 PM
good to know! So if I get a skirt it would be more appropriate? That is OK with me, I'd like it a little longer anyway.

I think one of our pipe bands wear Blackwatch for their uniform. It is a nice looking tartan. I like the Dress Gordon as well.

While this is good advice, you can quite honestly pick any tartan that catches your eye. Families and clans did things pretty much that way in the days before clans became "associated" with certain tartans. They would choose whatever the local weaver happened to have at the time. Clan association with tartans didn't really become commonplace until the Victorian era. Stoirmeil's link earlier in the thread has some better info on this topic. smile.gif

My current collection of 8 kilts has a variety of tartans, including a traditional Irish Saffron solid, the Irish National, Hunting McLeod, Gordon, Black Watch, Pride of Scotland (liked the colours), etc. smile.gif

I could wear the County Antrim Irish tartan as that's where my grandfather came from, but I don't like the colours in it. rolleyes.gif

I've been to Milwaukee's Irishfest for about five years now.Seen alot of strange things but if someone were to ask me if the lasses should wear kilts I would have to say
GOOD GOD, YES!!!

Believe me, for the guys they are just as sexy on the lasses (my own opinion) and they are for the guys for you lasses.

There is another wonderful website for kilts if you cna't afford that high price right away.

http://www.greatscotshop.com

They have a payment plan were I believe you can pay around $60 a month after a $75 deposit? And they send the kilt as soon as it is finished.

I've also heard that anyone can wear any tartan, but NancyRaven had a really nice experience contacting the present chieftain for permission to wear the Hunting MacLean tartan. It's considered especially courteous, and much appreciated.

Posted by: Roberto Phoenix 14-Aug-2006, 04:25 PM
That was really nice idea. I'm hoping to officially join a clan when I find out more about my ancestry even though I've had offers. Unfortunately the Italian tartan doesn't really have a clan chieftain right now and hmmm...wait a minute wink.gif

Can't say I heard of it. My first kilt was the $40 one from Mudeum Replicas that actually had two buttons to fasten it. When people asked which tartan I always said Clan McCheap!

Is there a link to this Clan MacRoni

Posted by: Roberto Phoenix 21-Aug-2006, 09:34 PM
Sorry Ladies but I just ordered me new kilt and it won't be in for another 8 to 10 weeks. Considering the amount of time and hassle I put in to get it I would glady be a pictured side of beef for the ladies. Maybe we could do a Celtic radio kilt calendar?

You other lads should get your pix up -- Madadh is getting a long lead on you. That wedding picture is really grand. Did they play the pipes too?

Posted by: dundee 11-Sep-2006, 08:34 AM
aye...... i just sent mine (kilt) back... the "buchanan muted" about burned my eyes out what appeared to be lovely earth tones really lit up in person .... the deep mustard yellow jumped to nearly primary yellow... the deep burgundy red changed to bright red.... and earthy warm green to almost christmas green....

reordered in "brownwatch" and got a real in my hands swatch this time... much more my style... and lovely browns greens and blacks..... take a hint... dont order without a real swatch the computer does things... i tried several ways to get the same on the screen from the swatch from scanning to photo's nothing really worked...

my pic will go up with the contest.... cause i aint going to look near as good as madadh.
cheers

Did not have any hounds due to a city ordance (they owned the property)
