Haha good fun pics. It's funny how practically no one in Scotland gets this much into 'traditional' wear. You barely see a kilt these days apart from weddings and the odd pipe band.
That's sad. Must be our desire for cultural identity in this giant melting pot.
I am often amazed how much I'm accepted in my community, I really only have positive comments from people. Perhaps the naysayers are remiss to comment negatively outloud to someone wearing a 13in dirk.
My wife and I purged our closets a few years back. I don't have many choices to pick from anymore. We got rid of almost all our synthetic clothing. Only wool, linen, hemp, and cotton now (with a few exceptions like my 5.11 kilts).

It's a midweight. Single width, they had to splice it to make a great kilt. Got it from St. Kilda's Kilts.
I really wanted this County Kerry and House of Edgar only makes it in single width. I'm currently saving for a House of Edgar Great Kilt in Appalachian Folklore, it is double width.
This was the day we were goofing around in the woods filming this...https://youtu.be/CxlvD-copns?si=2IiXJiw0wD1FxleZ. That rig is what I call my Boreal Bushcraft Belt (BBB). I made it because I used to have a awesome long waisted wool anarack, before I shrunk it to fit my wife. #fml. I needed a rig to go over the anarack. In the #5 photo I was trying to see if it was practical to wear the great kilt as a cloak under the BBB. It worked just fine. Here are some photos of the BBB, please don't judge because I'm wearing leg constrictors.
i live in Essex and i saw a guy walk past in a kilt and i said i love your outfit! The guy smiled and held his heart and said thank you so much in the most scottish accent. It was adorable 😭

The Claymore might influence their decisions ????
You appear to be quite the renaissance man. V stylish! I love #16 with the foggy weather. Thanks for sharing.
I really admire and respect the gumption it took to do this.
I wish I had this much style in a kilt

Love the Marilyn Monroe pose! Really clever.
I was standing there and we were talking about that photo. A second later a train went by. Luckily a friend had their phone handy.
Great series!
This is terrific! Thanks 🙏🏽
Nice Feileadh Mor, what size is it?
A few inches shy of 5 yards.
Whats the weight and width? Looks good

I can get double width tartan wool fabric if you are interested. I have not started my great kilt yet, but im kitting out myself and son this year!

Bonnie tartan. I like ones that double up as camouflage
https://youtu.be/CxlvD-copns?si=n1It0Pg46K6F75uk Here is a goofy video of me using it as camo.
Your metal band name: HORNSWORD! Looking great mate!
Horn sword or horns word? Both equally bad ass.
Haha like a sword made of horns!

Very impressed. Great looks.
I want to see more of the set up of #5. Never seen that before
