21st Century Kilts

Howie Nicholsby's 21st Century Kilts offer a unique take, and are a fitting homage, to a traditional Scottish style. The use of original textiles, ranging from leather, gold and purple denim, camouflage, to pinstripe offer something different to those fond of this age old item. 21st CENTURY KILTS were borne in 1996 and launched in 1999 at London Mens Fashion Week.

My aim is to give men throughout the world a realistic alternative to trousers. Pioneering the next step of its evolution, 21st Century Kilts is true to the original kilt which was everyday clothing. Casual or formal a kilt should be an option for any man from anywhere who can realise they are part of the history of an international garment.

When I created 21st Century Kilts, age 18 in 1996, I wanted kilts to be an alternative for everyday wear, as it was pre; The 1745 Ban.
