Can one use a clan crest badge as a kilt pin?

[OC Richard]

So now I have to ask.

The fact that the article states that the Duke had "donned a full kilt" brings to mind the question of what a "full kilt" might be, and what might be the alternative? A three-quarter kilt? A half-kilt? Inquiring minds want to know.

My old Pipe Major's phone was always ringing with people wanting to hire him for this wedding or that birthday party or what have you.

One day he put down the phone in disgust saying "if one more person asks me if I'm going to wear my 'full kilt' I'm going to tell them "I usually do, but for your event I was thinking about wearing my half kilt!"

Thing is, there's no such term in Highland Dress as "a full kilt". Yet, it's a term that people outside of the Highland Dress world imagine exists.

One wonders how the General Public created this term, and why it persists. It means nothing whatever.
