Dear Tradionalists - That's what is called deluting the concept

[cryptoman]

That said, the evolution of a garment doesn't happend at reanactment festivals but in the fashion world, so an evolution of a garment can happend but usually not along the line of crazy funky edgy, so that the definition of a kilt would get 20 footnotes who would lead to a skirt-like-garment-without-zipper minimalistic denotation.

The fashion scene and the scene of traditional reanactment, are both influenced by the general definition of a kilt and if someone makes stuff up and calls his skirt kilt has no influence on the general definition, unless it is accepted in the general public, which I doubt. It is the delution of the definition I am worring about. If ya stretch a terms to wide it become meaningless.

American Mountain Hardware tried to sell a wrap arround skirt without pleats as a kilt. Obviously miserable because a few years later they relaunched it under the label Elkommando Kilt which is sold out until these days.
