Out of interest, and in order to see the level of experience on this site, who actually owns and wears a "real" hand-sewn kilt? You know the ones that I'm talking about. Big woolen monster with the three straps. A taper so form-fitting that it looks like it was painted on. Pleats that are so straight and uniform, and a sway that's so solid that you're drooling just thinking about it. Arrr, arrrr, arrrrr!!!!

There are plenty of posters on the site that have never worn one of these with regularity, and it's REAL tough to get them to understand the difference between these and "the pretenders".

Don't get me wrong... I own a load of "casual kilts", and I wear them often. But comparing some of the stuff around here with a "traditional" is insulting, misleading, and false advertising.

If you DON'T actually own one of these, PLEASE don't boost your post numbers on this thread. This is a thread to examine the noticable differences.
