I would like to add... If we are wearing kilts to celebrate our culture, than let us be real men and celebrate all of it. Do not fear. Do not fall for the idea that it might look silly or out of place. If you tread down that path, you would most likely not be wearing your kilt much either. We should be proud of ALL elements of our culture, and none of it should be labeled as costume, lest we hamstring our selves. Wearing a great kilt is just as much, if not more, of a statement as wearing the little kilt... While little kilts can almost pass themselves off as normal, it is because some very brave people drug it kicking and screaming out of the costume garmet bin, and made it what it is, an acceptable alternative of modern clothing. We do a disservice to the great kilt to liberate it's smaller kin, but leave it behind. If more men would wear them, bravely, boldly, out in public and to all manner of social function, they would not seem so out of place. The idea of wearing a great kilt as a day to day garmet is no sillier or outlandish than it is to wear the little kilt.

That is all. I have said all this before. I want very badly to be able to afford a nice great kilt. I would gladly champion it's wear and all the stares, questions, comments, and jeers that would come with it. I have been been challenged here before for my views, and while done in a "polite" manner, I remember some of the biting remarks made about my opinions. I am willing to risk those again by saying all of this.

A great kilt is NOT better served being cut in half to make two little kilts.
