I work with kilts every day and I've never heard anyone (before this Wikipedia article) suggest that the plural should be "kilt."

My collegues in tartan academia say "kilts."

My collegues in the tartan industry say "kilts."

The people I correspond with in America say "kilts."

The people I correspond with in Canada say "kilts."

The people I correspond with in Scotland say "kilts."

The (many) books on Highland dress I have read all use the term "kilts."

So where does this suggestion arise that "kilt" is the proper plural? I just do not see it used that way at all. Regretably, my Concise Scots Dictionary is not at hand, or else I would see what it had to say on the matter. Perhaps "kilt" is an archaic plural, but I daresay it is not in common usage any longer.
