Within any definition there is a gray hazy zone of ambiguity...

If one were to require the definition of "kilt" to be a wrap-like garment, then the linked-to garment would not be a kilt.

(if there was a pair of hand-garments with a separate thumb and two sections for 2 fingers each - which would greatly facilitate the Vulcan hand sign - would these be gloves or mittens? Or some new hybrid?)


Personally I feel that one of the main characteristics of much ancient clothing like the kilt is that it is a wrap. This stems back through the millenia as a basic and primordial mode of dressing that is still found in the kilt (perhaps the 'wrap' is the earliest way to dress ... wrap something around you and tie some length of tough cord around the waist).

So the whole 'wrap' idea and feel is integral to the kilt idea in my mind.
