I'm just hoping this thread doesn't get as drawn out as the TCHD (or THCD?) definition and "changing the forum names" threads.

I hope the "contemporary" discussions would be a little more inclusive and accepting of different styles than the discussions over the finer points of Traditional styles of dress. It's not the kilt, it's how you wear it... the look you're trying to achieve (or avoid). If you're not following the TCHD (or THCD?) guidelines and not one of our "historical/reenactment" style folks, congratulations! You're contemporary! Rather simplistic, I suppose. However, where TCHD (or THCD?) is fairly narrow and rigid, contemporary ideas for wearing a kilt of any kind are virtually endless - from steam punk modern extremes and beyond, to nearly traditional. Everyone doesn't have to be as contemporary as everyone else. There's room for it here. Lets enjoy it!
