Great Kilt worn as formal attire

[Woodsheal]

I find it inconsistent too, which really seems to leave those against the idea with pretty much only, "But even though there was an overlap of perhaps anywhere up to a century where the great kilt and small kilt were both being worn, we kept wearing some form of small kilt up to the present and we don't wear the great kilt any more and therefore the great kilt with modern accoutrements looks weird and inappropriate and we don't like it".

Ha! Indeed! Re: the folks who accept box- and kingussie-pleated kilts (but NOT the belted-plaid) it's even weirder: "We like and condone early, historic styles of kilts, just not the ones with those silly sections that go up your back and pin to your shoulder. Outrageous!"

Anyways, I've flogged this particular dead horse way too much....
