Yes, Jock but when you don't have generations before you who wore kilts and pass them on or a government to issue you one that is a trickier proposition. A good wool kilt costs a fair amount these days, and quite frankly I don't have the resources to expend that chunk of change and then go roll in the mud and tear it up.

I think Steve was right in his comments about how it is worn and what it looks like. I don't own one of his kilts, but I do Robert Pel's and I think they are an excellent example of craftsmanship and Robert tries to blend modern and traditional. I personally, and it's just my preference, dislike the narrow aprons on UKs, and RKilts have a nice full apron.
