I’ve worn a kilt and they’re surprsingly heavy…I mean that they won’t flutter up in a breeze or anything like that.
I remember a website was selling "urban kilts’ or something and they came in colors other than tartan.
Are the kilts lined on the inside?
I mean, they’re heavy wool, right? And they’re scratchy if they’re not lined?
How do they attach at the top… like a pair of pants with a zipper/buttons?

Sportkilts are unlined poly-viscose or microfiber with a velcro closure. Not itchy at all and fairly light weight (especially the microfiber “Hiking Kilt”).
Edit - I believe they were first designed with Highland Games competitors in mind. Hence the “Sport”. As such they are comfortable and have a slight amount of stretch around the waist to facilitate movement.

Long enough that there were too many civil posts…when I clicked I expected a facepalm pic and a bunch of people swearing at the OP.

This.
I by no means expected to see so many rational, civil responses to the age old “pants too tight since my legs got swole” dilemma. I’m a little confused.
The kilt really is an excellent and underrated solution. Serious.[/quote]
This thread started off in the PL section. You can clearly see when it got moved over to GAL.

Ah, annnnnnnd… there it is. Makes sense now.
Thanks.

I see, so they’re kind of the Adidas (or CK) of the kilt world. Are any of them for cold-weather?
I have some scrap fabric around here so I could theoretically make myself a kilt, but even so, I don’t think I’d ever be able to wear it out of the house.
Plus, my jeans still kinda sorta fit if I don’t try to use the pockets much.

I think I had to stop wearing jeans once the squat went up to around 415 for reps. Good riddance, jeans suck!!

I have a few sportkilts and I love them. They’re not only comfy but easy to clean, light and comfortable and damn to the ladies love a man in a kilt.
i can’t really help with jeans but if you find you’re in the market for Khakis or dress pants I can help out as my company makes made to measure clothing. PM me for the link so I don’t look like a product whoring troll.
STU
utili-kilts FTW!!!
