History of Contemporary and Non-Traditional Kilts?

[Bugbear]

Thank you for posting that Wizard.

I did want a history lesson, so would it be possible to come up with a timeline of the dates?


At least a date of the starting point.

I really don't know how to categorize a contemporary or mass produced kilt that looks fairly close to a traditional kilt for this thread. They do belong here, and play a role in the history lesson, but they still look like a traditional kilt.

Other kilts do not look like traditional kilts, and would not be mistaken, at a glance, for a traditional kilt. That does fit into the question of how the style has evolved.

Jock Scot was troubled by the blurry line in the terms between the non-traditional looking kilts and the traditional kilts. In other words, lumping the non-traditional kilts and the traditional, Highland kilts, along with the accessories of either etc, all into the term "kilt."
I posted a picture of me wearing my Buzz Kidder, the one where I'm holding the sticks, and he said that that was not a Highland kilt.
I agreed, and started looking for the line between the two.
This is to respect the traditional Highland kilt and the ways in which it is worn, while looking into the ways in which the non-traditional kilt may begin to be worn as modern attire. I don't know what happens when you bring tartan into a non-traditional looking kilt. The only way to find out is to find a Highland traditionalist, show a picture, and see what the reaction is.

The Wizard of BC has also talked of wearing the non-traditional kilt in modern ways, and that is playing a role in these questions.
