traditional and modern conflicts

[James MacMillan]

Gentlemen can agree to disagree without being disagreeable.

And that's one of the great beauties of this forum!

We discuss things, air views, and still remain civil............

Or am I missing the point.......

wow, didnt know it would go this fast!

i agree with most of waht has been said and i can see where it is coming from. the nylon sporran i agree is ugly but put it in black and possibly better look, its great but its more practical than some of the leather sporans.

i agree with james, they ARE like jeans. they wont be the same from then and come in different varieties. utilikilts are the amercanized (butchering for some) version of the kilt, does it mean its not a kilt? no just different.

I particularly like the idea of different types of kilts: contemporary, traditional, modern...whatever they may be. It gives variety. I find if everyone is dressed the same, it could be a bit boring (not always, just saying). So, I appreciate the different styles. Individualism.

right, but becasue its not traditional doesnt mean its deuce and not worth calling a kilt. i think pockets on kilts is genius and sometimes it looks great! much better than a heavy and full sporran putting pressure on a certain area. i dont think you need to wear a jacobite shirt or wahtever to wear properly wear a kilt, to me a t shirt is fine!

As I think we have proven many times on the forum yours is not a universal view.
