Wearing a Kilt on the Camino

There is also the obvious question - do you commando
Or with boxers?

If it's windy, no commando!

Twill only be newbies who you terrify by getting into the top bunk - the rest of us are inured to the sudden appearance of intimate body parts...!
That's one way of guaranteeing the bottom bunk!

Those blokes not keen on revealing their knees should consider a tupenu.

I wear a plain longyi as the lower part of my nuns's robes (tied a bit differently) and have walked 2 caminos in it. SO comfortable!

Viranani, hi.

I purchased some cotton jersey(?) fabric earlier today (2.500 m by 1.200 m). Grey/blue in colour. It has a slight give. Weighs about 180 grams per square metre.

I expect to wear to to just below the knee.
And I would expect to tie the knot above the belt-line.
For me this suggests an 0.600 m drop?

I am 1.070 m (43 in) around the hips (and not much less around the waist)

Are you able, please, to arrange advice on:
1) The length I should have the cloth cut to?
2) Should I get a lighter fabric? Or even try silk?
3) If the drop of 0.600 m is likely to be OK?
4) Anything else I should to know?

As ask you as I know no Burmese and cannot find a pattern to give to a person who does clothing alterations.

Blessings.
 
The kilt (no matter the material) is probably causing sweating.

I wear a traditional kilt in all weathers and do not experience the condition you are suggesting. My kilt is warm in winter and cool in summer.

There is an apocryphal story that goes something like this. In World War 1 some/all highland troops were required to exchange their kilts for trousers and very soon after began getting colds. When they were reunited with their kilts the colds disappeared.

I wonder if your traditional kilt is wool, which I would think would be less of a problem than synthetic material. Irregardless, the issue is wicking of sweat experienced during heavy physical exercise especially in hot weather. As I said, air flow is probably adequate to dry skin during day to day wear. If kilts were the best choice for heat/wicking during heavy physical exercise, they'd be the wear of choice in Olympics and World Cup matches (IMHO). Again, don't wear a kilt, don't have boy parts...but I do know where chafing comes from.
 
If it's good enough for Richie McCaw, it should be good enough for anyone.

Modesty prevents me from suggesting, had the yellow shirted gentlemen worn a lavalava (as in Samoa) they might have done just that wee bit better recently.

Regrettably, from my first hand observations, the lavalava is not much suited to active pursuits as it is wrapped tightly around the waist.

Compare that to the Longyi that Viravani (see post #77 above) wears which is wrapped, as best I can tell, to give room for the knees to move forward quite actively.

What you have sounds good, Alwyin.
Men's longyi here are lightweight cotton, not too tightly woven, with a certain amount of give. They dry very fast. Silk? I would say no. You want something that sticks to itself a little bit so that it doesn't slip and become untied. Men work and play very hard in them, but if slippage is a concern, a discretely tied piece of parachute cord around the waist will be all the insurance you require--and voila, you have a clothesline too.
The drop...to me a very short longyi--like the lavalava--would look completely weird. But it would work, I guess. But I'd suggest trying the slightly longer version, because it protects the legs form sunburn better. The way men tie them here (practice using the video) is a learned skill, but it really allows for a long stride.
Length is basically the standard width of a bolt of cloth--mine here are 3'6''. And no need for a pattern--it's simple and elegant--just sew it into a tube with a strong double or triple seam and bob's your uncle.
Chaffing between the thighs is a common problem for women wearing skirts and walking long distances, so I imagine it would be the same for men. It is not the underwear that rubs, it is the thighs themselves. There have been a few threads on the forum discussing it. The consensus seems to be to wear longer leg boxer style undies - the sort that look like bike shorts.
One wouldn't wear shorts under a kilt - so is 'shorts' American for 'underpants'? If it is for shorts shaped underpants perhaps briefs would be better then there would be no riding up.
I have never had this thigh problem ... is it heavier people whose thighs rub together? for those who do would some slidey cream on there help - so there is no friction?
Ah finally something I have a lot of expertise in. :confused: Chub rub.
Big legs and/or a feminine shape help. I used run marathons a lot and my friends and I tried everything--really that was more painful than the blisters and black toenails. It was the era before silicon skin lubricants, which work fabulously--so on the Camino I've had no trouble, even on hot days. But ventilation is important, so just say no to underpants. (Personally I go for the less the better under my longyi (skirt)--and it makes unexpected 'pit stops' much easier and more discrete.)

Not to get in the middle of this little trans-tasman rivalry--but...:D:D:DWhat a thought.

No trans-Tasman rivalry here - the best team won! (Can you tell I travel on a passport with a silver fern on the cover?). And I find it very interesting that the coaches of the All Blacks AND of the Silver Ferns both grew up on the Taieri Plains. The latter was in the same class as me from the day we started primary school to the day we finished high school, and her Dad was my teacher for 5 years straight. It's great to see her do so well.

I am inclined to agree (I have one of those silver ferns too), but don't want to not rub it in too much.
There are many Aussies here. Nice folks. They tell great stories. And some of them are mods.:D
 
My chafing was caused more by bunched-up underwear (merino wool) rubbing against slightly chubby thighs. The Elkommando kilt aired wonderfully in my experience (so wonderfully that my sister, who was walking with me, insisted I walk behind her during ascents).

One other minor problem I experienced with my kilt was that it sometimes got tangled with my hiking poles when the wind was very strong. Then again, this caused less annoyance than the zipped vents on the sides of my hiking shorts do when they catch on the tip butlers on my poles.

Cotton or cotton blends (most common boxer/brief material) gets wet with sweating and causes chafing. maybe not when walking around town in one's kilt, but go for a 10-15 mile hike in the sun with a pack....

I did get chafing when wearing cotton boxers and also when wearing a synthetic athletic support. So I switched to a cotton brief type product normally used to hold continence pads in place. They are very light, wash and dry easily. This thread covers this and other issues.
https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...e-pro-support-nsfl-not-safe-for-ladies.35925/

And because I continue to generate quite a lot of heat around the midriff I dispensed with shorts about six months ago and currently use a cuben fibre rain kilt.

However, as a result of this present thread, I intend to try a lightweight sports kilt and a Burmese/Myanmar longyi.
 
So ... I just completed my Camino Finisterre using a TREK kilt.

1 day was awful weather so I resorted to trousers with built-in waterproof (Rohan Dry Requisites - bit pricey but very effective and far better than over-trousers which annoy me intensely).

But other 3 days were all kilted. Including 2 days with frequent showers and bit worse.

Awesome !! Made lots of new friends and more conversations than in previous caminos. It's definitely an ice-breaker.

I'm definitely a convert. Comfortable, exceeded expectations.

I'll post a picture when retrieved from camera.

when I had my kilt made by a women who took private orders from the kilt shop in Inverness Scotland. Took 3 months. collecting it I remarked about
"munro bagging"("munro bagging"claiming all the summits of a certain height in Scotland ) in my kilt. when she said to me these kilts would not stand up to prolong rain......and that the shop has walkers kilts for trekking "off the peg"ready made, they had two pockets . did not look right to me..that was a while ago now.so maybe they have improved I know the whole kilt saga is moody anyway.

she said to me she wold box my ear if she found out I had worn it up the hill,she was 90.

beside she said mine was dry clean only.
imagine on a camino "do you have a dry cleaners"

image.jpeg I apologise that I am not photogenic and so do not show the kilt in a good light.

The TREK kilt has 2 side pockets, each with an inner larger and outer smaller. I don't like things in my trouser pockets when hiking. So my first reaction was "I won't be using those" : WRONG !! for me the perfect height to just drop hand into either inner or outer, and because they 'float' on top of the kilt, and are not inside it, they don't intrude. I used them a lot for quick access, phone/camera, tissues, trail mix.

I was initially unsure of the higher waist placement of kilt vs trousers. But turned out that the kilt being higher is much more flattering of my reducing but still protruding belly, as it holds it in a little and creates a better line. Of course the rucksack waist belt still cuts in low, but at least there is just the rucksack waiststrap without trouser belt. The one day wearing trousers in very bad rain, I really noticed the difference.

The days with showers, the kilt kinda just brushed them off. And dried out faster than I expected.

None of the places I stayed had appropriate hangers for the evening, and of course I didn't bring one. So overall I am surprised how much it stood up to wear and use.

As I said in previous post, many more conversations started with other walkers and with locals than I recall when being "just another walker". The TREK being plain solid colour, I was able to answer questions about my origin easily on the basis that it is "clan-less" and open to anyone, even a Brit with tenuous Irish connection.

Calls of nature were easily handled, either straight lift or the TREK has poppers on front material which can detach and re-attach without removal of the kilt.

All in all, very impressed with the overall experiment and the TREK.

I thought I might use leggings, for warmth and maybe initial modesty and protection of the public. But they were gone in half a day. I guess they might be useful in colder seasons/regions. But down to around 8degcel, no need. Not encountered any colder yet

My only real complaint is that my legs are too short - I'm sure it would cut more a dash if they were even a couple of inches longer. Sadly there's little I can do to change this !

Great picture hampshiretim! I've been muddling through the 'pocket issue' recently, and hoping to get by with sporran, fleece pockets and a neck wallet. I'm trialling a different rucksack this time - it's more of an alpine than trekking pack and only has one outer pocket, which doesn't help.:eek:

I have some knee length socks for warmth if required, but I'm hoping to get away with regular hiking socks as you appear to have worn because they're better quality. Very encouraging - thanks for posting!

what does the Trek kilt weigh?

My TREK kilt in 34in waist is 900gms
This compares well to my Dry Req waterproof trousers which weigh 520gms and lighter walking trousers at 400gms

So I feared a weight penalty but in practice I don't feel it is significant
 
I'm hoping to get away with regular hiking socks

Yes this worked well
Until my white legs get a tan, I may use longer socks (err, catch 22) but I was intrigued by a leaflet with details of a 7 stage walk around the Fisterra area of 200km which advises long trousers to avoid tick issues. The perils of Lyme disease are serious so I am thinking bit more

How to decide between a cotton Trek Kilt weighing around 900 g with an all nylon Elkommando weighing 417 g.

Not forgetting the Burmese longyi (make one yourself) or the Sport Kilt at around 350 g.

Nor the Rain Kilts from ULA or zPacks both weighing around 50 g and very compact for packing, and both can be worn as a garment of choice. (Being on a Camino is not like being in a fashion parade, is it?)
 
To champion the Elkommando, I need to point out that the material actually feels more like cotton than nylon.

The biggest drawback, I felt, was the cost: I had to order mine from the US and pay a chunk in shipping, plus around €35 in import duties. All in all I think the total spend was somewhere around €160.
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
Not to hijack the thread, but @Rob the Slob that is my problem too, with the Macabi skirt. I bought a second hand one from a forum member and would love to get a new one but just can't justify the cost when freight is taken into account. The fabric is nylon but it feels quite soft and cottony and was quick drying, shed dirt - fantastic.

I've tried to source Supplex nylon fabric locally so I could make something myself, but it is impossible to find.

Two guys did the Camino in June wearing kilts. They were asking people who took pictures of them to please forward pictures to them. They may be on Youtube.

Possibly these two guys I saw on 22nd June near Olveiroa on their way to Finisterre.

Kanga, I found the fabric online and in good price.I got it at rockywoods.com and the price for the SUPPLEX was 7.79 per yd. The shipping was 15.22 to Puerto Rico. I also got another nylon fabric( taslan) ..Over did it because I got more fabric than needed but still way under the price of only one macabi. (Have enough fabric for maybe 4 long skirts) I plan to sew my own clothes for my summer camino.
 
I also want to wear my kilt to walk the Camino de Santiago. (Canadian with some Scottish blood)
There have been lots of comments about weight when wet and so on. One of the great properties of wool is that it sheds water quickly. It does not remain wet for long. The other amazing quality of wool is that—unlike cotton—it does not lose its insulating qualities when wet.
Kilts are brilliant garments. The thickness of the layers around the body provide warmth, even if your knees feel cold. Overall because your core is kept warm you’ll feel less cold than in, say, jeans. Kilts are cool when it is warm, and warm when it is cool. They allow lots of wicking and air circulation.
The ancient kilt might be an even better idea as it can double as a blanket at night, and also works well as a hood and cape against wind and rain while walking.
Wool is nature’s “high tech” material.

Interesting to see this old thread revived! Watch the date of the post, members, or you may find you are answering a question that is several years old.
Indeed, will see if some of the websites for buying a hiking style kilt are still on the go.
I did hitch hike with my kilt many moons ago, no chance of just having a quiet coffee with the kilt on, ;)

I head off this Sunday with my walking kilt in my fathers clan tartan. I also use long hose over compression hose. So the look is not unlike the usual, except no sghian dubh. This is made of "polyester wool" with pressure closures, so not metal: food at airports.
 
The famous Utily-kilt is great and comfortable to wear, but it is very heavy and if you are on a long walk, cleaning it would be quite a task. In rain it would not be too great. I was thinking of that option but after doing my research I think it is thumbs down. I am all for the look, but another minus is the hefty price over 300 dollars.
The real kilt is made of wool which is great at temperature regulation. Also wool is the only (?) material that keeps its insulating quality when wet. Also, the triple thickness around the mid body—kidneys, mid lower back, bladder, intestines—keeps the body’s core warm. The result is that even in really cold weather—I’ve worn mine in -15c weather with long socks and three sweaters—you stay warm. The skin on knees quickly adapts to the cold, but everything else is really comfortable. Cotton Utilikilt has none of these qualities and will be very cold if it gets wet.

of Irish heritage, I own neither kilt nor male parts. I do wonder, however, if the chafing one poster (?the OP) mentioned is due to wearing cotton boxers or briefs under wool or worse synthetic kilt (this inquiring mind does NOT want an answer to that). Synthetic is NOT necessarily (or even often) equivalent to tech/sports material. The kilt (no matter the material) is probably causing sweating. Cotton or cotton blends (most common boxer/brief material) gets wet with sweating and causes chafing. maybe not when walking around town in one's kilt, but go for a 10-15 mile hike in the sun with a pack....
if intent on wearing non-tech material clothing (eek), perhaps consider running shorts underneath, with perhaps antichafe cream used by bikers/long distance runners (of both genders). and by the way, all sizes. I am the typical marathon runner build, and I learned the hard way not to wear cotton anything if running more than 5 miles. Now I wouldn't run 3K in cotton. ouch!!
I think the best way would be to use anti chafing cream as a preventive measure, but to avoid underwear entirely and let the air circulate. This is likely why Scots regiments insist on no underwear when kilted; purely for practical health concerns. Or if underwear is absolutely necessary I would try to find wool or cashmere as it is naturally temperature regulating, wicks sweat, has natural oils, is in fact super easy to wash, and stays warm even when wet. No super space age material—to my knowledge—is as good as wool.
 
Can you use waterproofing spray on a kilt? The main problem would be heavy rain.

Wool takes on water but sheds it quickly too, unlike cotton. Wool also stays warm even when wet; retains its insulating qualities.

A few observations to follow but my first thought if you like the kilt then wear the kilt I’m Scottish and don’t have an issue with anyone wearing it 👍

now important stuff I’ve done a kilt walk and a full kilt is very heavy so I would recommend a lightweight kilt (5yards)

underwear is important I found but as previously mentioned the longer the petter

with a backpack the kilt belt can be quite uncomfortable

for men in kilts the sporran can hang in an uncomfortable position and swings about this can lead to a painful outcome if not careful but on the other hand is useful like a bumbag so that is down to choice

so buen camino and enjoy your kilts

The kilt is not specifically Scottish historically, Ireland had kilts as well.
I’m Scots Irish so happy either way but the the term kilt dates back to 16th century Scotland and much later in Ireland...my point was that most countries have a preconceived idea that you need to be Scots to wear a kilt and in my humble opinion as a Scotsman anyone should wear it and enjoy it...including the Irish 🤣👍
 
No underware, so no chaffing. That's one good reason to wear a kilt.


Underware? now that's a new one! had thought a few times of wearing a hiking kilt but am a little bit uneasy about the chaffing ? is that the ribald comments of the Saxon or is there a secret language relating to ones undercarriage? Not to sure about the chafing especially in the high winds!

Dax and samoht.w

I briefly, very briefly considered wearing a kilt. Decided against it when I thought about what happens if I loose too much weight, how would I dry it when it rains, (and you'll be aware of how heavy they are when wet), how do I get it cleaned during the five or six weeks of walking?

Commando or boxers? Consider how many times you will need to sit on a rock at the wayside to rest!:eek:, and what about getting up and down from your top bunk:confused:. Not easy if you want to be traditional and true to the kilt;)

Buen Camino
as you should know, wool is the only materiel that will keep you warm when wet so why bother to worry about drying it? and as for sitting on rocks, is that some kind of Celtic penance? Top bunks? Wear a nightie!

I took the kilt for a spin this afternoon. 11.5 km, in 7c with sunshine and a strong wind at times. I have to say it was the perfect thing to wear. I also had two sweaters (jumpers) and a windbreaker jacket. It was very comfortable. No chafing, and sporran was not an issue at all. This was, of course, only one afternoon's walk, and the temps were perfect for a vigorous walk, so not the greatest test.
I will try again in the rain.
