Kilts that aren't pleated?

[Jock Scot]

This is THE fundamental question of kilting and as a group we have shied away from it so many times.

What is a kilt? What is the definition? What do we as the largest kilt wearing group on the internet or for that matter in the world accept as a kilt.

We would mock and deride someone for wearing a left-hand opening kilt as a woman's garment. Yet we willingly accept things that are not even made of a fabric.

We probably need a new thread, led by one of the mods. A serious debate as to what is and is not a kilt is needed. We do not want or need to have a definition imposed upon us, we need to debate it for ourselves. Unless we decide what is acceptable what is not, then by default everything is acceptable.

It is all very well having a family friendly forum, where the discussion of religion and politics and weapons and other things is forbidden. Unless we come to some consensus, what we are talking about becomes irrelevant.

Out of interest it was standard practice many years ago for the aprons of
kilts to be reversed so that another umpteen years of use for a "working kilt" could be had. I am not sure how it was done though.

As to your main point, you are quite right to raise it, I have my doubts that an answer will be found that will satisfy every one , or even, any one. I am now heading for my bunker!
