Elliott tartan

Basically a 4-yard kilt. However, instead of pleats at the back, it has several very deep pleats at the sides. This means that, according to definitions, it is not a traditional kilt, but a tartan wrap skirt or a kilt variant. The reason for designing it this way took its starting point in the way men live today. Moving the pleats from the back to the sides makes the kilt much more comfortable when sitting in front of a computer, stepping in and out of cars or when seated for a long time on board an aeroplane.
Due to the yardage, the special "feel" of the kilt is maintained.

Most people, at least outside of a Scottish context, will probably consider it a kilt. And if not, then just a kind of skirt which any man can wear.
It has been tailored by a talented, now retired, German kiltmaker, Syriel.

Whether it is a kilt, a kilted skirt or just a skirt makes no difference to me. I like the design; I like the tartan, and I will very often wear it.
