Fat Old Guy 11 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Saw something interesting the other day that would make a wonderful option for those who don't want to invest in the Official pants (Supply Division's motto: We may suck but we're expensive). What is thise interesting thing? The Amerikilt (www.amerikilt.com). Available in olive green, it would look great with knee socks, maybe with a skean dubh tucked into one of them.

evmori 11 Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Cool! And they come in different lengths! And they have camo! Link to post Share on other sites
acco40 95 Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 If the Kilt became official, would the need for official skivies arise? Link to post Share on other sites
andrewcanoe 10 Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 IMHO, those look like something that shold be in GSUSA catalog. Link to post Share on other sites

OutdoorThinker 10 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Having been a bagpiper and knowing many a guy who will proudly sport a kilt (including the one I am dating), I am all about a kilt option for the Boy Scout uniform. I definately remember a Venturing Crew discussion about our uniforms almost four years ago, and kilts were discussed, grant it a lot of things were discussed and we're all wearing the official green shirts now anyway, but kilts were mentioned --that may have been my first conversation with OGE...

OutdoorThinker 10 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 By the way, I recommend http://www.utilikilt.com for kilts (Boy Scout uniform or not)..they offer more design options and a couple of camo options. Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Old Guy 11 Posted November 3, 2003 Author Share Posted November 3, 2003 Och! Wot sort of kilt has pockets on the sides? Link to post Share on other sites
FloridaScout 10 Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Wow this topic came up at just the right time. Our venture crew is doing a station at our council camporee called the highland games, where we will be wearing grey utlikilts with an embroierd Venture "V". On a side note, we voted 12-0 not to wear them in the scottish mannor F.S. Link to post Share on other sites

packsaddle 753 Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 This mental image is just tooooooo delicious. I arrive at summer camp with the troop. All the counselors and troop leaders are wearing kilts. White, flabby, hairy legs and knobby knees, ample bellies hanging over. I make my way to the trading hut to get mine so I can join in. The boys are really quiet, just a little nervous. It'd make me proud. I think it's a great idea. You know this would make a great cartoon. H'mmmm Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Old Guy 11 Posted November 4, 2003 Author Share Posted November 4, 2003 Hey! My legs may be hairy (manly men are hirsute :-) but my knees aren't knobby and my legs aren't flabby. Link to post Share on other sites
Twocubdad 665 Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Acco -- I don't understand you question. If you are wearing your kilt properly, why would you need official skivvies? While I applaude the concept of the "American" denim kilt, I'll stick with my tartan kilts. Granpa always said going first class just doesn't cost that much more. Link to post Share on other sites
packsaddle 753 Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Are you kidding? I thought everyone waxed these days! (OK, maybe that knobby knee thing was uncalled for) Link to post Share on other sites
Owl62 13 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I once heard a member of a Highland Venturing Crew speak of kilts: "Any man or woman and wear pants but it takes a real man to wear a skirt." Link to post Share on other sites
