Well, I wouldn't wear one out as a kilt. I would love to have one for going to the beach and the pool. I know some people swim in their kilts but I haven't gotten into that yet.

I say it isn't a kilt because it isn't pleated. The pleats are screened on. If it was made out of terry clothe (what most towels are made of) and pleated I would think about wearing to the beach or pool.
