I do think kilts are cool but I'm not a Highland Scot so I don't get to wear one . Not sure about camo though.
The Mors Kochanski style bonnet is very nice, I've always fancied one and I have a bit of a hat fetish...

 

[PatrickM]

Cool That will look great with ma bunnet.

 

[Toddy]

I could manage a great kilt from dpm quite quickly Axe and billhook instead of Claymore and dirk?
But you'd need to show off your legs

Cheers,

Lovely idea I just dont have the knees for it

 

[Longstrider]

I just hope that whoever buys one has a better day than the guy modelling the thing. The cameraman obviously forget to tell him to say "Cheese!"

 

[jdlenton]

wow now that's a cool kilt what clan is that ?

Just noticed its made of cotton wouldn't want to be out round Glasgow in november in that!!!!!! brrrrr:bluThinki ( we need a cold and blue smile)

They've even got a camouflage sporran
Actually.....I've got 30m of plain cream coloured twill wool...wonder if I can manage camouflage from natural dyes on it? Now that'd be a true bushcraft Arisaid

I sent the link to my eldest, his response was unprintable.....like he reckons Jack McConnel's kilt ought to have been

Cheers,

A cotton kilt would be great for the summer.Even a light weight wool one gets a wee bit warm.

The DPM sporran is going a wee bit far though.

Just had a nother look I got to get me an urban camo one with a matching sporan cool

James they cannot be made by real Scots people, and no self respecting Scotsman would wear one of those sporrans as they are missing the bare essentials like the combination lock.

Anyone can wear a kilt.

I think the green DPM looks quite good actually.

If I can persuade SWMBO,might just get one.

The urban camo kilt reminds me of a paint pot accident I witnessed in a B&Q store years ago. Still, everyone to their taste.

On that fun side, has anyone seen the "highland dress" outfits sold by the tourist shops in Edinburgh? £50 for a full outfit and shockingly badly made!!

For a more bushcraft friendly sporran, I would suggest looking at this link:

The £50 kit is probably made abroad.The MOD is considering sourcing tartan for Scottish regiments in foreign climes as well.

Link no work.

Edit: Copy and paste works.

PS:like the blue rabbit sporran.

I bought Jamie's from here;

Kilts for our regiments (or should we now say -Regiment!! )to be made abroad. That is shocking.

But as Government has decided to have a "Regiment of Scotland" instead of The Black Watch etc what else can we expect!!! My view is totally

Aw ra best

Beautifull work.

Pity that I've got my full compliment of sporrans.

I have had a black utilikilt for a couple of years and wear it most weekends (can't wear it for work my knees would scare the students )

Anyone can wear a kilt.

True. But I tend to view it as traditional Highland dress and I wasn't born in the highlands so.... And weren't a lot of the tartans invented by the Victorians when it became cool to show off your Scottish connections? Doesn't mean to say they are any less valid or anyone else shouldn't wear them it just wouldn't feel right for me.
However if I got invited to, say, a wedding in Scotland, and the bride and groom insisted on tradition dress I'd jump at the chance .
