One point that struck me what the number of times per year on average that the group in question wore their kilt. From comments here on XMarks I was surprised to see that most of the 110 polled wore the kilt on average once a week, or more.

As for not knowing the terms pleated to the sett, stripe, district tartan, and civilian box pleat, I wonder how many of us would have known the terms were it not for the discussions here.

I don't think wearing the kilt, on average, once a week all that surprising. As the "average" age of those answering the questions would be, say, mid thirties, at that age I was surrounded by friends getting married, attending weekend house parties, dances, drinks functions, wandering about the place, to the pub, taking the girlfriend hither and thither, rugby matches, etc.. so it is not at all difficult to wear the kilt once a week.

Thinking about it now , did I really do all that too?
