You can’t just leave it without giving your understanding of what makes a traditional kilt, Jock.
My understanding is that it is a wrap-around garment for the lower body made from woollen fabric woven in a tartan pattern with a flat apron at the front and pleated at the back. It is worn at the natural waist and its length is to the top of the kneecap. Anything else is simply a variation of this.

Well actually I have intentionally left the question without "steering it". Just to see where the conversation leads us. Indeed I do have my own ideas but for now, I would prefer others to voice theirs.

I would add to Ivor’s description “Historically worn by men from the Highlands of Scotland and manufactured from tartan or tweed material”.
