I always refer my Utilikilt as an "American Kilt".
I have on many occasions been asked which tartan my UK was by a few misguided humorists/inquirers. I have also been asked whether my UK was a Scottish or Irish kilt. I have had to remind the former of what a tartan is, and the latter I simply say it's a Seattle kilt, made on 15th on the way to Ballard.
