Scotland

Howie's aim was simple - to give men throughout the world a realistic alternative to trousers. 21st Century Kilts was born in 1996 and launched in 1999 at London Men’s Fashion Week. Howie’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.

The kilt is an iconic part of Scotland’s cultural heritage. Howie’s pride in the artform of making a kilt has seen him proudly work this craft traditionally and innovatively. Howie is actually an ambassador for VisitScotland’s European campaign called Meet the Scots, offering his insider tips on visiting Edinburgh and Scotland’s creativity.
