Just because someone claims to have done something doesn't mean they did it. Rawlings probably didn't design the little kilt any more than St. Patrick got snakes out of Ireland. Bosses often take credit for the work and ideas of the men below them. And there is evidence of little kilts before Rawlings and his factory. Maybe Rawlings helped make the little kilt more popular, but that doesn't mean he invented it any more than St. Patrick invented Christianity. (Man, I can't come up with any other references today)
