    Question Are these kilts?

    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?

    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.

    "Because I said so"
