The other race is in respect of such garments as the Utilikilt, which really has no connection with Scotland, a point that I think was made by its creator. Here to my eyes at least, attempts to give such garments credence by importing some sort of Scottish connection, maybe adding a sporran lor wearing a skean dhu, are somewhat ludicrous.

Further they diminish both efforts to support the traditional kilt, and the efforts to develop such garments themselves as sensible male attire.

I agree with you 100%, James. I have both traditional, made in Scotland kilts, and I also wear Utilikilts. I don't wear anything that tries to give the impression that a Utilikilt is anyway connected with the attire of the highlander. In fact, when people ask me what I'm wearing ,I refer to the Utilikilt as just that, "a Utilikilt," and tell the person that it has no connection to anything Scottish.
