From what I understand, solid color (i.e. saffron) kilts made in a traditional manner is...well...traditional. Please correct me if my thinking is wrong.


    Yes, that is part of what I am trying to figure out.

    However, according to Matt's post, which is what I am going by, a kilt like I brought up made from navy blue, sixteen ounce wool, in one of the traditional styles would be traditional.

    I think the traditional styles are the five to eight yard, knife pleated kilts, or the four yard box pleated kilt; as offered at the Scottish Tartans Museum, for example.
    The same navy blue materiel made into a Freedom kilt model would probably not be considered traditional because it has pockets and a different construction design.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
