There are several home pages on the internet where you can read about kilt buying and wearing and all the accessories to go with a kilt.
   Most home pages are made by Scotsmen or men with Scottish roots, however.
   Not unexpectedly their starting point is the kilt as part of a national dress and the kilt worn at events where formal dress is called for.
   Here there are rules, often very rigid ones, about what to wear in connection with what and on what occasions.
   That makes it all complicated and very often expensive, as well; all factors that might keep many otherwise interested persons from starting kilt wearing.

Kilt wearing and buying made easy and cheaper

This page is made by a non-Scot and targeted at men who should like to wear the kilt as everyday attire rather than as formal wear.

In fact more and more men, Scots and non-Scots, already do so or wish to. And it makes a lot of sense. Why wait for a seldom and special occasion to wear such a splendid garment as a kilt when you can just as well wear it whenever you like to?

The kilt as daily wear also makes the whole thing a lot easier and cheaper as well.

People ask

Rather often I’m asked about kilt buying and wearing. The reason is, of course, that I’m a frequent kilt wearer and have been so since the mid-nineties.
   The kilt has become a fantastic addition to my wardrobe and something that to a great extent has replaced jeans and shorts.

A keep-it-simple 4-pages FAQ

Other of my interests are communication, web design and photography. Why then, I thought, sholuld I not make a site about kilts, a FAQ where the most frequent questions from primarily non-Scots are answered, by a non-Scot?
   Here it is. Only four, well rather long, pages plus some photos and a quite comprehensive links page  

The language problem

This home page was first created in English. Immediately after followed a version in German.
   However, Danish is my mother tongue and accordingly the only language I really master.
The problem with Danish is that the audience interested in kilt wearing could be a really tiny one. i
   Nevertheless I know – from the internet – that in a distance of less than ten kilometers from where my wife and I live, there are at least five other men without Scottish connections who like wearing kilts. I have just never seen any of them.
   So I made it in Danish, too.

Every man can wear a kilt, no matter his nationality, heritage, colour etc.
