Short kilts

I have a set of short kilts worn traditionally with nothing underneath. They are always fun to wear when I have to wear something. Invariably someone will ask if anything is under the kilt - usually a woman. I enjoy lifting the kilt to show them the answer. Lately I've taken to flying in a kilt too. Yes I Get asked in the airport. It's fun flashing in a crowded departure lounge.

My kilts are just long enough to cover my modesty when standing. I like to sit in a caf or bar, legs apart so all is on view under the table. When I kneel or bend over all comes into view too.

Another bonus is the wind which lifts the hem. Standing on a prom last week the wind lifted my kilt completely. It may as well as not been there. Someone commented that we (my friend included) were courageous wearing kilts on such a windy day. I enjoyed it but thought it might be best to move to somewhere a bit more sheltered.

Love it, where do you find short kilts. I am a short guy 5'6" and love the idea of a kilt but only have seen long ones that come past my knees, lol.

I find them on the internet - from Amazon. There are two ways because, as you say, men's kilts are usually long. One way is to buy women's kilts. Some are very short (maybe too short) and then I adapt them to open in the opposite (man's) direction. The other way is to buy a man's kilt and shorten it by cutting a few inches off.

When you shorten a men's kilt olly how do you stop it from freying/unravelling ect is a normal stitched hem sufficient? Thanks

Yes they do fray. I pull some threads out to create a fringe. And, if I'm sat in a bar, I like to pull an extra thread out and leave it on the table.
When at the airport luggage reclaim my friend recognised his case because it had threads from my kilt wrapped round the handle.
