A kilt is not just a piece of clothing for the kilted clan. Without a doubt, it’s a great addition to any wardrobe. It’s perfect to wear for work, casual events, or even as semiformal or formal wear. Yes, a kilt is a piece of garment, but it’s a lot more to us than awesome fashion and lifestyle statements.
The modern utility kilt is indeed versatile and can most definitely be paired with and worn with something you already have in your closet. Its utility is not much different from early Scottish kilts, which were multipurpose.
Early Scottish kilts provided excellent protection from the elements, served as cover for muskets, or they can even be used as camping blankets. They can even signify as wealth markers and status, depending on their size and materials used to construct them.
There’s no need to conceal muskets or to ostentatiously display one’s social status and wealth today. However, the kilt has come to signify a natural and unmistakable masculinity outside its reinvention. Besides, simply wearing one is awesome.
It has certainly evolved, yet it remains recognisable from its traditional Scottish origins. Additionally, they can be constructed from other fabrics other than the traditional woollen tartan. The utility kilt conserves its design that allows for freedom of movement while maintaining modesty, though we must add, what you wear under your kilt is entirely up to you.
Who is the Kilted Clan?
Central to any human experience is the need to be a part of a community. As social creatures, endearing terms are commonly used to describe the group we are affiliated with. For us kilt enthusiasts, we refer to ourselves as the Kilted Clan.
Any community operates with a specific set of boundaries to meet the requirements of that community. The Kilted Clan is not bound by such restrictions, apart from the fact that we have bonded and congregated for one specific purpose, our love for wearing kilts.
What’s not to love about wearing utility kilts? Not only do they look awfully sharp, they are also perhaps the most versatile piece of garment we have. We can wear one from a weekend backyard barbie, going hiking, a posh party, and anything in between. Basically, what this means is you can wear one anytime, anywhere.
It’s true that there is a small learning curve on how to wear a kilt properly, and that there are more sophisticated or specialised kilts than others. Regardless of this fact, utility kilts can’t be discounted when it comes to versatility, comfort, and breathability.
Being part of the kilted clan not only uplifts our pride, the strengthening of our commitments and solidifying our bonds. Being part of the kilted clan also makes us feel we are part of something bigger that’s sweeping nations with like-minded kilt lovers.
Why should you join our Kilted Community?
