"WHY" of modern kilts
Readers:
This writer 'learned the kilt' in a Great Kilt. My wife bought me a modern kilt. The modern kilt, I am growing to hate.
The question: How did the kilt de-evolve from the basic, wrap it and go, with all its inherent freedom of movement: to this circa 2011 kilt with its fussy sewing down the ar*se, the 'luggage straps' to hold it on, and the too well overlaid aprons? I feel like I am in a wool barrell!
And related question: if I ever get the shillings to buy an expensive kilt, can/should I ask for the 'style corrections'( no straps, no sewing, ect) to get a happy kilt for me?
Or would it be the far simpler(since I have the skills in sewing, but not modern kilt sewing) just to buy the yardage and make the kilt the way I like it?
Inquireing minds would seek a View(or several)
