    Would that make us the "revolutionary vanguard"?

    Oh dear, I'm not sure if I would wish for that!

    A trouser forum?

    Would that be for the masochists, Freelander?

    Personally, I like to be different (it's my hippy heritage - I still wear what's left of my hair long). So, for me, the longer and slower the popularity rise of kilts the better.

    Pragmatically, if kilts become trendy, there will be a brief burst of people wearing crap cilts (made from the crap cilt clan tartan - from the Table Isles). And then those oh, so trendy fluffy heads, will abandon the cilts as suits their traditions.

    Some of the fluffy heads will see the light and join us, "we few, we happy few, we band of brothers*".

    It is a chance to have more options in garments for the male.

    Okay.....I wasn't going to reply to this one but it sounded like you wanted as many opinions as possible.

    For me, I am all about the Trouser Tyranny thing. I want men to have the freedom to wear something different than trousers. Now I hate trousers with a passion. They are stifling, confining.....I feel like I'm suffocating when I'm wearing them.

    So.....I want kilts to become accepted as an option for men in all situations - even at work. I guess I that would be my goal and I see that as a good thing.

    Would it be good if they were commonplace? I'm not even going to comment on that because I don't think it will ever happen. Can you imagine for instance an executive in a board meeting wearing a kilt? :confused:

    On another web site a kilt visionary predicted a day when you could go to Wal-Mart and purchase Utilikilts off the rack in the men's department. I don't think that day will ever arrive because in the 21st century men have no backbone, no guts. They want to blend into the background by dressing like all the women around them in blue jeans. Unfortunately, I think this will be the trend for at least the next several decades - and perhaps forever.
