My father had his kilt made in 1977 in Paisley Scotland. He wore it every New Years Eve, he wore it to every Scottish dance he and my mother went to ( Monthly), he wore it to my brother and my own wedding, he wore it to both of my children's baptismal. When he died, my nephew wore it to the funeral and then a year later my son wore it for his wedding. Needless to say, the quality of the kilt is amazing, the workmanship unequaled and the pride of our family to have such a piece is priceless! That kilt is most definitely and always will be a family heirloom.
Lies again? Skirt Pant
Hi there I also understand the traditions of textile industry and love the idea of kilts myself I have two myself my family have been weaving (by hand) since the 17th century I think it’s awesome that His Majesty King Charles III is making sure that inherited crafting weather it’s kilt making, weaving, or other types of craft does not go endangered.
I mean as somebody of Scottish heritage who wears a kilt, kind of blows my mind what you’re saying here. I know God knows how many people who wear kilts every day for their standard dress. From utility kilts to traditional kilts. Making and wearing is not that much on the decline. There are hundreds of new tartans registered with the Scottish register of tartness, every single day. There are new materials being developed to create kilts and Sporan‘s, leather replacements being brainstormed for more sustainable and animal friendly options. Heck, one of the most Premier kilt makers in the world is in the US, USAKilts. Yes shows like outlander and even Highlander or Rob Roy help with getting more people gravitated toward an amazing traditional garment. But the truth is it’s far from dying out.
my family is from Dumfries, Clan Carruthers.
Graham your amazing 😊 watching from New Zealand ❤
Just got back from Scotland... Now I am an American (& proud of it) with three Scottish bloodline (Wallace, Burns & Scott... and again, VERY proud)... Outside of a couple of other men in Edinburgh, no one else was in a kilt anywhere there (I wore one EVERY DAY I was in God's Country, brought from home in North Carolina). MANY a local waved, gave me the 'thumbs up' and even crossed the street to talk to me. So I CAN say, it is not the norm, but they DO approve and love to see it. And yes, more than one other fellow tourist to that great country stopped me and asked for directions thinking I was local.... that made my wife laugh more than once on our visit.
I hope my quilt will fit me for Saturday! I have 4!
Kilt.
@@ahh980 thank you!
My grandpa Douglas "Doug" Earl Harrison's maternal family was of Scottish of Norman origin.
She looks awesome and carries it well.
Love kilts and plaid! Must be some of my ancestry.
Very interesting!
Beautiful! I’d love to have one of his creations!
That is nice Charles set up that foundation for the community.
The King rescued Dumfries House from dereliction and has created opportunities for young people to take on apprenticeships in crafts that are in danger of dying out. He is a champion of heritage crafts.
Guy talks about wearing the kilt like it’s a bad thing. 🤷🏻♂️ why?
Beautiful Kilts ❤
Thanks for highlighting Grahams work I think it’s important that the kilt and tartan evolves Vivienne Westwood was a great trailblazer of using the fabric in her designs in the punk era and it’s now great to think we have more younger Scottish designers taking it on. If anyone is in Scotland just now the VA in Dundee does have a whole exhibition about Tartan running it’s so much more than kilts.
FYI the Braveheart movie is completely inaccurate. William Wallace was a lowlander and wouldn't have worn a kilt no did they use face paint. Don't even get me started on outlander. That being said I love these kilt designs
Great point! It's no different from when Bavarian Tracht is used to represent Germany as a whole. I heard, at one time ar least, Germans thought Americans all wore cowboy hats.
Lara, your hair looked awesome when you were in his studio. And btw SUCH an awesome artist! I'm an Angelino, but have had the opportunity to spend time in Scotland these past several years (cough, a boyfriend, cough), and they are leading the way in so many areas like this, and btw with the help of Charles when he was PoW. ... ps They don't wear anything under those kilts.
Lol!my 3 year old nephew was sobbing his heart out before a wedding because his mum made him wear boxers under his kilt he wanted to be like his uncle wearing nothing 🤣
A Scottish woman friend has agreed to wear a kilt at my wedding but her only term was she wears underpants
Kilts made for those who keep alive the world of highland dancing, are specially made to enhance the swing of the fabric as the dancer performs the steps.
Gorgeous opening architecture (Dumfries House)? Kilt-making is an endangered heritage skill 😮 WHAT ?!? omg
Sorry she's not wearing a kilt. She's wearing a mini skirt. As a granddaughter of a Scotsman, I can tell you that a kilt is knee length.... Not butt length 😂
Given what's traditionally worn under the kilt, I can't see my groomswoman wanting her to be butt length
The word Kilt is a Norse word, meaning , to wrap around the loin
Comment of the week! So cool to learn that.
The kilt that she has on is a skirt!! Kilts are long and very heavy. And yes many guys who wear kilts wear nothing but they have to know how to seat in them. Need to tuck the kilt between their knees so everything is covered.
Was just thinking it looks like a miniskirt not the longer kilts knee-length 😂
@@paulchezkari6952 I don't think she has any idea what she's taking about 😝 I was a drummer in a bagpipe band for 7 yrs. Kilts are long and heavy.
exactly.. kilt is to the knees. not halfway up the thigh.
typical of modern journalism
@@OntarioBearHunter she just wanted to show off her legs, silly girl 😜
They were lovely boots and it was an interesting look...reminiscent of go-go boots with a mini skirt from 70's. But the segment was supposed to be about kilts, so contextually a fail.
Interesting how they highlight the art and craftsmanship of a respected garment but when it comes to the idea of a male anchor wearing one, the staff begins to laugh and to almost “poke fun” at the idea. Seems rather counter productive.
The military kilt has up to 7 yards of wool material. Solders either raise the kilt or parade over a mirror to be checked as underwear free., The kilt wearer can sit and raw his legs up under the kilt when sleeping or resting, There are no laundries at the front line and the importance of being open to the air especially in battles past was a hygiene issue. Solders elsewhere wore baggy trousers which just delayed potential health issues. The traditional rejoinder to the question ''what's worn under the kilt'? is nothing at all, it's in perfect working order.
I’ve always thought that kilts were interesting. Although they do look suspiciously like mini-skirts.
Anyway, kilts are comfortable because they fit almost anyone. Along those same lines, it should be possible to make a pair of shorts that would fit anyone. That way you wouldn’t have to guess your size when ordering shorts on-line.
Take a piece of cloth that’s about twenty-five inches by a hundred inches. Then, install a series of hollow rivets down the center line, a little towards one side.
You would wrap the material around your waist a couple of times, and then lace the hollow rivets between your legs, like you lace a pair of shoes. The kilt becomes shorts.
So you’d then have a pair of shorts that would fit almost any waist size. But not Fatty Arbuckle. Or Tom Thumb.
Omg. That lady present ing? That is not a kilt 😊
Johnnie I don't know where you've been, but it seems you won first prize
They were wearing plaid in “Clueless”. Those weren’t kilts…
No sporran?
Mine has hidden pockets in the front apron. Looks exactly like his!
Starts episode about how she learned about kilts and immediately calls a skirt a kilt... smh
Slow fashion is the future. ❤
They wear nothing…. The older gents tend to wear boxers I tried to get a photo and was laughing so hard I couldn’t take a good picture lol
Not sure why they're laughing so hard at the end there - Michael definitely alright tho!
Because the MSM is cringe and has no respect.
How can anyone wear wool without something under it? I would itch so bad. They look nice though
I know a woman who thinks kilts look nice but she doesn't want to wear one cause she thinks it would be too rude to wear with nothing under
Because it's worsted wool, which is quite smooth (think really nice suit material). Smoother than say a wool sweater, and certainly much smoother than a heavyweight tweed.
…anyways it’s Asian American and Pacific Islander month.
Gram??? Huh! You are in Scotland lady, say it right! It's pronounced Gr-ay-ham.
Thank you @drrd4127! Gram...that annoyed the hell out of me. Typical Americans...
@@poltallach I know right 😂. I am from Scotland, The Graeme spelling is still pronounced Gr-ay-ham, it's just the Scottish spelling for Graham but the same pronunciation.
@@drrd4127 I am from Scotland as well, but live in Canada. The pronunciation of Graham or Graeme in North America is pathetic. I had a co-worker that married a chap with the surname Graham and they pronounced it Gram. I was all over them. Who cannot pronounce their surname correctly?
@@poltallach😂😂😂Good on you! Making us Scots back home proud 😂.
@@drrd4127 Thanks very much! I aim to correct North American ignorance.
marry or date a Scotsman and find out??😂😂😂
Be honest there women's skirts,scots like wearing women's clothes
Do you want to know why we call it a kilt?
Because the last time someone said it was a skirt…
They Got KILT💀
By and large, those are not true kilts. They are skirts. Based on the way the subject was treated by GMA at the end of the segment, I guess it's okay to make fun of European ethnic traditions.
As a Rankine, I say let it evolve.
He makes it sound like he's the only bespoke kilt maker... got measured at Lochcarron , gave me a mill tour and took them almost 6 months to make and ship the complete outfit it to me in Canada.
RAPPER AT MET GALA... CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
Women don't wear kilts
They wear the earasaid/arisaid (I've seen various spellings...)
Some women do, especially if they're in pipe bands.
Hello I think they are skirts for females. I know they are classical or ancient but it's not for marriage. It goes against genesis and lots of people dislike them.
