Hello folks, I recently found a thread about the sense or nonesense in terms of pleats as a symbol for the kilt.

In short: The question came up, why not removing the pleats and calling it a kilt for the so called evolution?

My arguments:

- the kilt is a historical grown garment with keltic heritage and not just a fashion garment
- the pleats offer extra freedom of movement and aircondition
- the pleats look good and the swish and drape is unique
- there are already light weight variants availabled
- the shape and number of the pleats and the kilt material isn't specified, room for inovation

Here is the thread: http://www.skirtcafe.org/forums/view...128527#p128527

Dear tradionalists if ya thought the Utilikilt would delute the concept, you are probably wrong, the skirt wairing hipsters try to do it, luckily in their imagination.

The pleats are there for a reason, they look good and the kilt is a historical grown garment, not just fashionable. The main points.

Where are my bagpipes and regimental kilts? I need a break from this nonesense.
