Kilt costumes? The guys want a skirt too!

Pomaikai

I'd love to have a kilt costume available. Ones with and without shirts. Let's us dye the tartans too! I'm certain it will be a seriously popular costume. Especially if we can dye the plaid patterns to our guild and/or faction colors.

Thoughts?

I don't believe it is lore correct.

Mercenary Legs is a Kilt, at least in Heavy for some odd reason

So a similar costume we can dye isn't out of order, or lore.

Make it so!

One of the Nedic costumes on Crown store is close to a kilt.

+1 Vote just for properly using "tartan". So tired of everyone assuming the pattern is called plaid.

Plaid comes from the Gaelic, the names are interchangeable to describe the same pattern of cloth.

No, All tartans are plaid, but, not all plaids are tartan.

To keep things simple, I'm just going to stick to the basics and try not to overwhelm you with too much technical detail. All plaids and tartans are comprised of stripes (in varying sizes and colors) that meet at a 90-degree angle. We start heading into 'tartan' territory by looking at the geometry on the pattern. With most every tartan, the pattern on the stripes running vertically is exactly duplicated on the horizontal axis too. Basically, this matching pattern in both directions will create a grid. The warp and weft threads are then woven in a two-over-two "twill" pattern. When looking at a simple plaid, you'll notice that the stripes — either in color, size, or pattern — are not the same in both directions.

Also, whilst tartan refers to woollen cloth woven in one of several patterns of coloured checks and intersecting lines; plaid can refer to the same thing but, usually in the UK, it refers to a specific long piece of tartan worn over the shoulder as part of Highland dress.

What's that item that drops in one of the vet dungeons that's a kilt. The actual name is a kilt?

There's no society in Tamriel that would wear Kilts.

Closest you get is the Imperial Legion armor.

The reason I used the two words the way I did was to convey to the devs that we'd want to dye the intersecting colors separately, so the costume would need at least two colors, if not three, rather than just a single color.

You know that if you buy a female costume from the CS you can actually use it even with a male character yes? or at least that's how it works when you preview them :P

So well.. if all you want is to wear a skirt...

Moonscythe

Back in Morrowind the Imperial Guard wore blue skirts and the Ordinators wore long fancy exquisite skirts. The same skirts I could buy from a merchant for any character. I was always kind of surprised at how good the look was even though they were clearly skirts. They did not look feminine or absurd as one might suppose. Also, of course, the robes were completely interchangeable. It was the last TES game that had reasonable pants outfits for women.

Osteos

Its been a long while since i played Skyrim but wasn't the Stormcloak armor sorta Scottish like with a kilt and fabric that went over the shoulder?

Anyway I see no reason not to include kilts.

CaptainBeerDude

As a (distant) member of the MacGregor clan, much approval.

TheShadowScout

Personally I would love to see more options! Including some short skirt options. But for armor, not for mere costumes... just like the light chestpiece exists in both jerkin and robe, it would have to be possible for the legpieces to exist in pants and short skirt, right?

Costumes... well, there is no traditional culture-assoviated kilt in tamriel... but the basic idea of the garment is so, well, basic, that is certainly would have been around. And for those red bearded, claymore swinging highlander people who might want to have a tartan kilt out of sentimental reasons (and before anyone starts, may I remind you that if you call it a skirt, and they find you in cyrodil, you might get kilt... ), a nice costume or two of some nord regional attire might just do the trick...

I personally would like to keep my male characters away from skirts of any kind. Boys are boys, and girls are girls... I prefer to keep it that way. Even if kilts are the "man-skirt". No thanks. Just give me either some armor/robe, and a staff/sword... That's all I ask.

Ahhh. You prefer the dress. Fair enough. I feel I should inform you that a kilt is very comfortable. I've heard that dresses are less so. But whatever you prefer, M8.

Away with your lore breaking idea OP.

Kilts guys, kilts. men do not where skirts. they wear kilts. They have a different cut and length than skirts.

Well I want Cadwell's Lute Tune emote and a trophy item called a Wabbajack, that can turn any player I target it to into cheese or a chicken, or a pile of goo.

And they are very very comfortable. To bad American society is less accepting than others. Other wise I'd wear one every day. There is a kilt designer in Scotland (no way... Scotland! Who would have guessed) that makes them at the proper length before Queen Anne's perverted sense got a hold of them and made them cut shorter.

^ this lol

All craftable lightarmor chestpieces used to be robes, and they were ugly... however Daedric style legs used to be a long skirt, I don't know if that has changed or not, since I don't really see people using Daedric style for anything but weapons

I hope we do get to see more kilt-like leg pieces for both female and male chars, it would be a nice change from ugly long skirts and robes.
