I would not be happy at all if they become "trendy". I don't follow trends. 
Al, you are a leader, not a follower!!!
Derek, I too have mixed feelings about this. I am very happy to be 'different' and a non-conformist which places me in the 'let's keep kilts exclusive' camp. However, I also feel so sorry for all those poor unfortunates out there who are still suffering trouser tyranny, that I want to educate, convert and bring them all into my world. That would mean kilts becoming mainstream!
Maybe I'll just keep quiet - or is it too late for that?!!!

Ham, even your silence speaks volumes, so when you come out with a philosophy statement like that,,,yes, I think it's much to late to keep quiet! Very well said.

I personally don't care if it gets popular. Although I don't want to see the decline of quality because of it. I don't want to buy kilt that is going to fall apart within a few washes.

Kilts will always be fashionable, even when they aren't the current fashion.

I'd like kilts to be more widely worn. Those who wear them well will still stand out from the crowd.

I don't mind steeping away from the generaly conformist masses.
At present, most people assume that there must be a specific reason for a man to wear a kilt. Its popularization may diminish that expectation.

all (or most) of which is self inflicted.
