    Looks cool.
    From the pic it appears to have pleats most of the way round, yet also has a narrow overlapping front apron held together with studs in the modern style so yes I would classify this as a kilt.

    Kilt's a pretty broad term in some cultures so it'd fit in. Really wish I could feel it - guessing its very soft and comfy to wear.

    With the pleats as they are, the garment in question would not meet my definition of a kilt regardless of what it is made of, sorry.

    woof Looks like a kilt. Wear it proudly, frequently, publicly and you can call it Fred or Ginger, Cashmere or Croissant. Whatever? Looks like a kilt. arf In American Bully that spoken as, "ghrrrrrrrrrrrWHf"

    Go, have fun, don't work at, make it fun! Kilt them, for they know not, what they wear. Where am I now?

    Obviously, you're gonna get more slack about whether its a "true kilt" in Mexico City than you would in the Highlands. Enjoy the FREEDOM and cashmere comfort.

    And, God forgive me, having watched The Mask of Zorro last night I can't help but wonder how your turnout would look with a Zorro mask.....

    I was thinking about that Jock.

    "Are there kilts made from another materials?" I would love to ask you what you think about the Utilikilts, very popular in the US? I saw some of them made from Cotton Digital Camo.

    Kilts are just made from wool? if its Polyester or Cotton its not a Kilt?

    Belive me is very hard (and expensive) to find original stuff here in Mexico, but I will do my best! I assure you that cashmere feels great!

    That T-shirt is very nice too!, You should try it! May be its not very accurate with the use of kilt but I was just trying

    You are not a Gringo Loco!, You just said what you thought and thats cool for me!
