Reading this thread...

...a bit amusing to this reader and a wry thought; the more something (in this instance, a [vs. "The"] kilt gets wider wearing (and exposure to larger numbers of different-subculture, non-strictly-traditional viewers-thinkers)...

...the more "natural - uncontrolled - evolutionary" variations in wearing thereof, will be pondered, tried, produced, encountered.

Even thirty years ago, who could have even fantasized (perhaps some of us, still, in horror-lite) at the number of variations would develop and worldwide-exist, in a garment which pretty much stayed unchanged-ish, for several centuries.

"Utility" kilts in canvas, etc., leather, "punk," multi-solid colour, Steampunk, camouflage....
