Are these kilts?

[Sylvain]

Traditional kilts have two wide aprons, I know.
Pittsburgh kilts or Utilikilts have narrow aprons.
The first Standard Utilikilts had no aprons at all.
Are these kilts? And why?

Gee. We've never had THIS discussion before, have we? :rolleyes:

Let me put it this way, Levi jeans originally had a button fly. Most modern jeans have a zipper fly. Are they still Levi jeans?

This a matter of opinion. These are not traditional Scottish kilts, but as has been stated here before, a new American style "kilt".

Let's remember that their are fans of Utilikilts and there are those that are not fans. Let's keep it civil and not get out of hand.

Don't believe everything you are told A sporran does not a kilt make. Oh, and no, I've never had that! It's true!

I was very fond of that 'standard' style and regret its passing. Here's a photo of my first Utilikilt (November 2000). It has faded over the years but it is a Caramel Workman's model and is in the 'standard' style:



This kilt is now archived in my Kilt Kollection and was replaced a year ago by a current Caramel Workman's UK. I have four 'standard' UKs and seven 'Neo-Trads', and there is absolutely no way I would wear a sporran with any of them.
