Recently bought my first kilt from these guys (Armstrong) and was elated when I received it and tried it on! Have since bought several accessories from them and was similarly impressed with the quality and customer service!
So the Glyndwr is perfect for all Sith or the official Imperial Tartan. For Obi-Wan, the Angel's Share would be perfect. It incorporates his cloak as well as his tunic and the blue in his saber. Somewhere Earthrise would fit in the SW Universe.
My ancestor was a prisoner during the uprising and during Culloden. He was moved between prisons and eventually transported and sold into some kind of servitude in Virginia. His wife and children followed him and they had 10 total children. They were Gibson's and I think they came from Fife. I can trace their family into the 1600s. Not really Highlanders but he fought with Prince Charles and was luckily already in prison before the battle. That probably saved his life.
My introduction to USA Kilts quite a few years ago was when a club I belonged to chose a tartan. This was for a very unofficial sub-unit of 501st Legion, the worldwide premier Star Wars bad guys costuming club, called the Kilted Trooper Brigade. (The club began with Stormtroopers but branched out into all Imperial costumes.) Keeping with the black, red, and white color scheme of the club, we went with the Prince of Wales. I’m no longer active in that club, but I still have my kilt!
It's happened to me on many occasions. If they ask me, or demand to know what's under my kilt, I'll usually direct them to the nearest female in a skirt or dress and tell them to go ask her the same question and see how that works out for them. Premise being that most people wouldn't ask a woman what they're wearing under their skirt/dress, so why would would it be ok to ask me the same question?
West Point tartan every day! It was the tartan of the first kilt I ever wore (I had the honor of being one of the first people to wear it too) It's also the tartan of my most prized kilt now.
I started learning how to whittle in the Boy Scouts when I was 11 or 12. I've carried a pocketknife regularly starting around age 14. My Nephew, on the other hand was suspended from middle school for having a pocketknife on school grounds. Times have changed. And where it's important to raise kid to be responsible and teach them the meaning of tradition, sometimes the greater society we're a part of may view things differently. That's a sad statement to have to make.
My first kilt was a Fruehoff band uniform, altered to fit me as the Piper MacArthur MacArthur HS Lawton OK. Later I got a simple sport kilt in Clerk (clergy). I’ve gotten several at festivals, Duncan Modern, Saffron, County Cork, and a poorly made Duncan ancient from Pakistan that I do still enjoy. Even got McClarento wear with Woodbadge. Most recently ai got a nicely made Stewart Dress pleated to set which is simply beautiful to wear. I enjoy them all. Looking forward to a trip to Edinburg in a week. My Trotter ancestors had a lovely house outside town and a townhouse on the royal mile. Thoroughly enjoy your RU-vid channel. Rt. Rev. Dr. Stephen Duncan
I've always thought that the kilt was cool. I loved that the people who wore one always seemed to wear it with pride. I didn't think that it would be cool for me to wear because I am a Black man. But my maternal side has the last name "Boyd." So I'll be researching the family history and familiarizing myself with our family's name. I see a "Boyd Modern" kilt in my near future.
I did my research my Scottish heritage both side of the family I have 43% Scottish and 31% Irish 21% Norway 3% native Americans 1% haweiian 1% spain yea some reason my dna changed now I’m 51% Scotland 23% Irish my 1% spainish gone went to 1% French I was what.
My least favorite part of wearing a kilt is the belt. I have a big belly, and it crushes my mid section. But without my fat belly, it really shows with a kilt.
Now, we love you guys, but this is preposterous, I'm a Scot and if I want to wear one over my shirt, I will. In fact, no one in their right mind would challenge me for doing so. I can and do wear one over a ghillie shirt, you just have to find a way that works for you. I just can't imagine a garment that in your words "is a nod to the great kilt", not being able to be worn over a shirt. I can't see my ancestors running around the hills in a Prince Charlie! I live in a sub-tropical climate these days and there's no way I'm wearing a black jacket in the summer. Not all kilt outfits have to be worn to some dress code, in fact, my ancestors were, and still are, sartorially challenged. I can attest to there being more than one way to do it, all it takes is a little thought and the desire to do it. You guys are great, but no need to be anal about it. Thanks for all the vids over the years.😢
Admittedly, I bought both my day sporrans at a Ren fair, but the second one is actually pretty nice. It's mixed brown and black leathers and has little brassy studs. The first... looks as cheap as it was. I'm planning to get a semi dress sporran from you guys when the need arises.
I am new to kilts, have some family history recently discovered and have purchased a few kilts since.. Regardless of my family heritage I want to wear a kilt to honor my military service. What I don't understand is why does 8 yards of wool from your site cost me $715 Most I've seen anywhere else is less than half that. I want to support you guys but how do you justify almost $800 for 8 yards. $100/ yard? C'mon guys.. If that truly is the price, then instead of construction that I work in now, making $0.50/sqft... hire me to come make kilts instead. Pretty sure my back will thank me for the career change
Vs $170 for the "casual" instead of premiere? Which is doable... Maybe make a video on how a primiere kilt is worth 4x the cost of a casual. Both seem to be 8 yds, so please enlighten me.. Other than that, my only gripe, great job on what you do. Very much enjoy your content and want to support your growth as a company
For Day Weddings Informal - Tweed Semi-formal/formal (stroller suits/morning dress) - Argyll For Evening Weddings (or Reception if you are changing clothes) Informal - Tweed Semi-formal (black tie) - Prince Charlie/Regulation Doublet Formal (white tie) - Regulation/Kenmore/Sherrifsmuir/Montrose Doublets It is as simple as that.
23:49 That would be my justification for spending upwards of $1000 on a kilted formal wear outfit. Yes, it's pricey, but it's something I can wear time and time again for years/decades to come. It's not a one-and-done deal like a wedding dress.
What! No Navy???? 😢 My family is Army, Navy and Marines. Hoorah! My son is Navy and this year is his 20th year. He will be retiring soon. I had an ex boyfriend that was Air force. He got a Dishonorable discharge. LOL!
If you are at a public event like, say a Highland Games where there are children about, wearing something under your kilt is MANDATORY. Flashing kids with your junk is not on. Period.
I'm planning to get a great kilt soon. This is super helpful! I don't think any stripe on the tartan is bold enough to justify pleating to the stripe. I figured that was the reason, but it's good to have confirmation! Cheers.
I'm nowhere near getting married, but I've been looking at your site and putting together the outfit I want to buy for my eventual wedding. As long as my future fiancée approves of me wearing a kilt, I'm opting for an Argyll (assuming a daytime ceremony) with a 5-yard wool kilt, a fly plaid, and a bow tie. That will pass for equal formality to evening dress while also saving me a bit of money. I wouldn't dare ask my bride's family to pay for my $1000+ outfit.
One of my ancestors a Great Uncle went to New Zealand , he established a sheep opperation there, quite a large one from the letter . I don't at this moment remember his first name but his Sir name was MacLean. By the way those tactics are being used right here in in England's child's country today as we speak .
