    But is it still a kilt?

    (Moderators, if this should go in the contemporary kilt forum, feel free to move it, but the question I am asking is I think more general)

    Utilikilts has a "New Standard" model.

    It is NOT a wrap garment, but a pull on. It does NOT have an integral flat front apron.

    Since I have always taken the minimum definition of a kilt as a wrapped garment, the portion below the waist coming approximately to the knees, with pleats at the sides and back, and overlapping flat aprons in front; I would say this is not a kilt.

    Not trying to start an argument, altho I recognize the possibility. Just trying to figure where kilts end and other MUGS begin.
