Howie Nicholsby, 22, pushes traditional kilts into urban style at a New York interview. He designs kilts in denim, leather and silk, expanding beyond wool tartan. Nicholsby leads 21st Century Kilts, part of Geoffrey Kiltmakers in Edinburgh, and says mature men wear kilts confidently in public.

Innovative Kilts Redefine Tradition With Modern Pockets

Nicholsby stitched a silver vinyl kilt at eighteen to wear to his sister’s wedding and drew praise. He adds pockets for phones and water bottles to attract younger buyers, pricing kilts from 350 to 2000 dollars. He argues kilts can be daily wear and rejects the idea they are only for weddings or graduation.
