After we had a rehearsal with the band yesterday evening I was talking to the other guitarist, who at some time in the future is going to get a traditional kilt in his family tartan and join me on stage kilted. His wife fully supports him, its simple the cost and they have their children to consider first. However he mentioned over a cold beer yesterday that he doe's check on E Bay regularily for Kilts but the chance of his family tartan and size coming up is nigh on zero. He is also aware there is now quite a diversity of kilts available at really good value prices but obviously not in his tartan. He also asked me out of interest .. At what point does a Kilt cease to be a Kilt. I didn't know how to explain it just like that so I said I would ponder on it and let him know. I'm still trying to put it together other than the obvious things .. ie fasten to the left etc etc. Any help in explaining gratefully received.
