I don't doubt for a second that there are box pleated kilts in the UK, but very few and far between.That is all I was trying to point out, apart from the "school girl skirt syndrome" that we seem to recognise over here.
I don't mean to hijack the thread, and I am asking this in the interogative,
is it not a little sad that something with verifiable historical accuracy would be denigrated as a school girls skirt? I enjoy learning the history and tradition on this board and it seems disheartening that this part of one's heritage would be essentially disowned.
