Imitation Skilts
They say that imitation is a form of flattery, well, I’m flattered. Many thanks to Bruce for bringing these jokers (are there more??) to my attention.
I’m offended by the punctuation in Kiltailor‘s “Utility Kilt For Active Men’s”.
I notice that Royal Kilt likes the denim design so much they list it twice: an ordinary one cut out in photoshop and a “stylish” version (presumably due to the presence of my legs).
Euro Kilt‘s Union Flag “Sublimation” kilt is a bit of a mystery. According to Freud sublimation is the process of transforming libido into “socially useful” achievements, including artistic, cultural and intellectual pursuits. I can only assume they don’t have much libido to transform if their socially useful pursuits involve ripping off other designers. Can someone please order one so we can see what a dog’s breakfast they make of it?
Weaponise your Skilt
Looking to mash your modern kilt with a more traditional Scottish look? Why not add a traditional Sgian Dubh knife to the top of your sock?
I’d like to introduce Dean. At only 25 years old he is the owner of Gemini Bespoke Knives LTD.
Hi is based in Loanhead, Edinburgh, and makes a variety of hand made items including Sgian Dubh kilt knives, forged steel dice, jewellery, display pieces and sculptural art.
All of his pieces are hand crafted using traditional and modern methods and have been sold worldwide to customers, museums and collectors alike.

This happened in 2018 but I’m only just getting around to putting a few photos up. Belated congratulations to both of you!

Detachable pockets that leave no trace are great for more formal occasions like this wedding.

Noel is “always a Fusilier” his Royal Regiment of Fusiliers Skilt
The Royal Fusiliers were originally formed from two companies of the Tower of London guard, and called the Ordnance Regiment. Most regiments were equipped with matchlock muskets at the time, but the Ordnance Regiment were armed with flintlock fusils. This was because their task was to be an escort for the artillery, for which matchlocks would have carried the risk of igniting the open-topped barrels of gunpowder.
Drop us a line if you would like us to make a Skilt in your regiment’s colours.

Michal has bin ein Berliner in his Skilt
As I promised – few pics in my fantastic Skilt 🙂 I’ve been on FOLSOM in Berlin in this kilt and people reacted very well… Three or four people openly asked for producer and of course I sent them to your website.
25th I will wear it during gala concert of International Chopin Piano Competition. It will be in Wrocław… I think it will be a reason for gossips :)) I love (S)kilts ;))
With all the best…

Jonathan is edgy in his biker Skilt
Hi Richard.
I just thought you might like to see the effect of ‘those edges’ in a nightclub setting!!
Like something JPG could have designed for Fifth Element!!
Best wishes from Sitges.

Tim is enthusiastic in his Skilt
Stoked to receive this comment from a customer who describes himself as ‘very satisfied’. Thanks Tim.
After several centuries of brainwashing to the contrary, ordinary men throughout the western world are beginning to realise that the wearing of skirt type garments is practical, logical, and extremely comfortable. So why the hell not do it?
And if it’s a skirt type garment you’re after that looks great on a bloke – you’ve come to the right place! This wide selection of exquisitely tailored ‘skilts’ is, I reckon, about the best in the world. Each pleat is individually cut to a broad flare and sewn so the whole thing hangs beautifully from your waist. What you see in the pictures is what you get.I bought three:DENIM – rough and tough as any pair of Levis I ever wore to work (but with the added advantage it will never wear out at the knees or pockets)
CORDUROY – same as above, but softer and cosy warm. If you’re off on a days hike down on the coast with your lunch and a hip flask you’d be an absolute idiot not to don one of these!
BLACK FLOCK – if you think this one LOOKS stunning…you should FEEL what it’s like to wear. BLOODY HELL!! I guarantee you will never, EVER, want to take it off!
Order out of Skilt chaos
After years of having garment rails in my lounge I now have a dedicated wardrobe for clients to browse. One of every stye and size of Skilt available – all neat and tidy. Next time you are in London why not come over and have a look?
Dave has a nice cup of tea in his new kitty Skilt
And a toe curling brew it looks to be too. Check out all the old school exercise equipment in the background. It turns out that Dave runs the London Longsword Academy. So if you ever need to take revenge against a six fingered man … you know where to go for training.

The kilt is a symbol of male emancipation
Clothing is a deeply political statement. Here at Skilt we wholeheartedly support all our sisters in their right to wear trousers (or whatever else they choose – including nothing).
Wearing a kilt out in public is not always the easiest thing for a man to do. It takes balls. But really it is nothing like what women in some other countries still face. Show your solidarity with them by wearing your kilt with pride.
