I appeared on the Alan Titchmarsh show today and I was able to wear one of our fabulous Union Jack kilts.
The section of the show was related to the mens’ prostate cancer charity Movember and bizarre (I would have said magnificent) facial hair in general. I was invited to attend as I recently became British freestyle beard champion.
If you can be bothered to sit though the adverts our section starts at 17 minutes: Alan Titchmarsh show

What an honour to see Lee Thompson, the saxophonist from Madness, in his St George Cross kilt at the Olympic closing ceremony last night. Looks like the Englishness may have been an issue though as a couple of small Union Flags had been stitched onto the front. Wish we’d had the opportunity to provide him with a Union Flag kilt instead. Hopefully the George Cross one will be returned to its full glory for future gigs.

If you’ve walked along Shoreditch High Street recently you’ve probably been drawn into the cornucopia of fabulous delights that is Present. The FT’s ‘How to spend it‘ raves about them and says they stock “Brilliantly edited modern menswear that pushes fashion boundaries without going over the top”.
I was wowed as I browsed through for the first time last winter. It turns out that Eddie (the co-owner of Present and co-founder of the famous Duffer of St George) was equally wowed by the Union Flag kilt I was wearing.
The upshot of this chance meeting (don’t we always meet more people when we wear a kilt?) is that we have been given the honour of being featured in their jubilee punk themed window. Thanks guys!

We are delighted that Skilt has been featured in the Buffalo Boy feature in Notion 051. We’re not sure exactly what a Buffalo Boy is but we figure it’s a reference to Malcolm McLaren’s Buffalo Gals. All this scratching’s making us itch!
Just been interviewed by Pat Sharp for BBC Radio Kent. The first time it has been me doing the talking rather than the Skilts themselves.

Hi Richard,
Thought I would drop you a line to let you know that I was really impressed by your show at Alternative Fashion Week and have given it a mention in my article on Thinpurse.com along with a link to your website. You can check out the article here.
Thanks,
Imogen
