But we're not talking about ripping a kilt apart, modifying it. In the end, a kilt is a kilt, no matter what the lineage of the person wearing it. If I'm not a NASCAR driver, but I put on one of their helmets, does it then become just a hat?

I know a Marine would have something to say about that. It is not so much about what it is rather it is about what it represents.
