Apart from members of pipe bands and a few Irish dancers why do more Irishmen not wear kilts.
Would it be an opportunity for CD's to go public.
Now there's an idea for a festival in Kiltimagh, Co. Mayo.
And what, if anything, should be worn underneath.
At least there might be some more hotel corridor flashing videos on here if nothing else. |

I could be wrong but my understanding is that TV/CD's are men who enjoy wearing feminine clothes, so I'm not sure how/why this is something they would disagree with. |

Totally...I don't feel feminine in mine at all, quite the opposite |

I agree, and I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by them most Saturdays 
You were my first thought when I read this "
And anyone who saw me pitch up at the hotel in my kilt, with my socks round my ankles and my tie undone, would probably agree that I couldn't have looked more blokey if I tried |

You said there was "nothing more manly" and I assume thats not the look people who like wearing feminine clothes would be looking for so I think your post is somewhat contradictory.

May I put it another way?
Why would most TVs/CDs (specifically) disagree that a kilt wasn't manly? |

You know you are absolutely correct.
As I am neither a TV or a CD it was obviously remiss of me to believe I could comment on behalf of section of members of this site that I am not best qualified to represent.
I withdraw my previous comment unreservedly.

"I'm not Scottish but did wear one at a wedding in Scotland once. Surprisingly heavy but comfortable... Wouldn't wear one here though because as I said... Not Scottish "
Leather kilt is cool but got to watch your weight as very little give in leather |

Seeing this thread I thought I'd add my bit. I have Irish family and therefore wear a black kilt (also have a green and a saffron one) when I can. Starting wearing a utility one, it's great as it has trouser pockets (don't get jealous ladies). Mainly without a sporran, save that for my formal one. |

Have to say I agree with original poster. I cannot understand why more irish men don't have kilts in their wardrobe. I have a full black tie outfit. Gets worn quite a lot. After all it's a celtic tradition not only a Scottish one. And we are a celtic race. So common lads get out and get you kilt. And remember that your mother always told you fresh air is good for you. ( if you know what i mean) |

The Irish kilt is saffron coloured. It's quite ok the wear it if you are Irish. |

The "Irish" kilt is a bit makey uppy tbh. During the gaelic revival of the late 1800s it became fashionable for some of the more eccentric Irish nationalists, and pipe bands in particular, to wear kilts, sometimes green, sometimes saffron. The "Irish" regiments in the British military then adopted this in the first couple of decades in the 1900s. Tunes nothing in historical record though to suggest that kilt wearing was common in Ireland at all.
Wearing of the léine however, was common, and originally coloured with horse piss, hence the yellow colour. This was a tunic or long overshirt and may have been mistaken by some for a kilt. |
