Traditional kilts have a unique culture and history, and modern kilts have a sort of 'underground' culture attached to them. I don't think I'd be at all excited about wearing it if it became as ubiquitous as today's blue jeans. And too, I'm sure the modern urban fashionistas would tweak it into something very effeminate and unattractive like they've done with modern blue jeans. I'd rather leave well enough alone and keep contemporary kilts in the 'rugged outdoor wear' style!
Well said, Tobus.
