Dear Tradionalists - That's what is called deluting the concept

[adempsey10]

I've never seen a bloke wearing a mid thigh length kilt that has been taken seriously by his kilted peers. Each to their own but I still say the lady in the middle is wearing a skirt. Could be a kilted skirt? But it's still a skirt.



You're right AD. I forgot the bit where, "People can call it a Kilt, in fact people can call it what they like... But in my opinion... it still isn't a Kilt".

Because of course, we're all entitled to one of those. Doesn't necessarily mean we're right... or wrong... just means we have an opinion.

As for innovative fashion... I'm of a mind, if it ain't broke don't fix it and so I do like your point that "tradition, by definition, is impervious to fashion trends". To be honest, that pleases and reassures me but then I'm hardly an avant garde fashionista.

Dont get me wrong, I'd hate to see a kilt lose its pleats... just like I never want baby blue suits to ever come back into fashion, or high waisted pants.... or basically anything from the 80s.
I would like to see some more kilt makers making kilts that rest a little lower than the natural waist. Sportkilt makes some but I'd prefer a PV or wool tartan kilt that sits where my pants sit. Just my preference though.
