  1. I have a feeling this article is more about dreaming than reality, though I totally agree with the premise. No major kilt manufacturer is selling a men’s “swimming” kilt and those that do appear to put a premium price on what is a very ordinary kilt except for type of fabric. I am finally resorting to making my own by severely modifying an old pair of shorts with a buttoned and elastic waistband. It has vents (old pocket openings) and from a distance looks like trunks. It’s about 13 inches long and is worn at pants waist, and does not have pleats in the rear (which get heavy) — so maybe it’s not a genuine kilt. I wouldn’t go jumping or diving in it as it will flash my genitals. I’m still experimenting with the idea but am determined to create a working garment. I would rather swim nude but that is not always legal or possible.

    1. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It’s great to hear that you’re experimenting with creating your own solution. I agree that the market for swimming kilts is quite niche, and the few options out there do tend to come with a premium price tag. Your approach to modifying old shorts is really innovative—I can imagine that it offers the comfort of a kilt with the practicality needed for swimming. The challenge of creating a kilt that functions well in the water while maintaining modesty is definitely a tricky one. I’d be interested to hear more about your progress as you refine the design. Who knows? You might end up paving the way for a new trend in swimwear!
