Actually Phil there is a name for a modern, 8 yard, machine sewn kilt in modern fabrics that has many of the features of a Traditional Kilt. And can include pockets.

It is called a Contemporary Kilt. I began to use that name to describe the type of kilt I make. I'm not positive but I think I am the one who first used that term. I even wrote a tutorial explaining the terminology and it is posted here in the articles section.
