I am not accusing anybody of anything, I know you are just speaking your mind without malice but right now I am so very discouraged about the whole kilt thing.
I know that I am quoting something from a long time ago but I think we all feel like this if we get too hung up on who's wearing what and exactly how they are wearing it. T'Challa has the best example of sartorial style, I like the modern London interpretation of the kilt. Sadly as we have got too hung up on THCD etc., I think that is what kills it for many who may lurk and rarely post.

It is nice to stand out as different at times, but all the rules we impose on ourselves probably makes it more likely to reserve it for a few times a year if at all. I rarely see anyone kilted unless it's a busker in Trafalgar Square, though how quickly my local Lidl sold out of kilts recently must show quite a few are more interested in the kilt than we may think
