    Ted, as far as this traditionalist is concerned, it would be a contemporary kilt. Traditional kilts are higher waisted, don't have pockets, and are tailored to be worn with traditional Highland attire.

    All right, the tartan alone does not draw the garment into the traditional Highland attire realm. I guess tartan fabric is used for all kinds of things Scottish and non-Scottish, so that makes sense.

    And again, I'm asking this to avoid disrespecting Highland attire; that is keep the non-traditional separate from the traditional etc.

    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

    Ted, from a Contemporary Kilt maker I have to agree that just because it is made from 16oz wool in a Tartan pattern does not make it a Traditional Style Kilt.

    In you example a Freedom Kilt Tartan Model is not a Traditional Kilt. It is a Contemporary Style Kilt because of how it is made.

    I wear the kilt because:
