Are kilts gothic (or anti-gothic)

[Colin]

I think the kilt transcends cultures, demographics, lifestyles, religions, and fashion tastes. Everybody loves kilts and we are bound to see people of every aspect of life discovering the kilt. After all, given the wide range we have these days, there is an option for everyone and it is an extrememly adaptable article of clothing that can be used in almost every style of dress.

I think folks wear kilts for their own unique reason, but they have to be worn according to what works in that group.
I think that kilts would work in the goth culture, or at least seems to from my viewpoint which is admittedly as an outsider. But I can see where a black kilt would fit in just fine,
There is room for non-traditional kilts in lots of circumstances.
I have a black kilt, but it's made of canvas and cut with a full apron and I wear it as a dress kilt usually with a grey harris tweed. A black leather kilt would not be my style nor give me the same look.
Goths I would assume would love a black leather kilt, but my canvas, full apron one probably wouldn't make it.
Hey...wear what works. Kilts work in just about any group depending on the occasion and how they are worn.

My question, beloitpiper, is basicly: are the folks I see
wearing kilts (in this very heavily goth environment)
actually gothic? If so do they consider the kilt gothic
without all the other emblishments typically seen on
goths?

If these folks wearing kilts in the gothic scene are not goths,
are the goths not wearing the kilts because they consider
them "anti gothic?"

The reason I'm curious is because it seems that the kilt
is "different" enough to appeal to the gothic taste, and
is seen in this environment, but not in association with
other typical items. Maybe there is something I "don't get."

I think Colin might be on to something here!
