Utility Kilt Question

[Pleater]

Kilts are becoming quite popular amongst the less traditionally costumed morris dancers here in the UK.

There are sometimes comments from the 'oi polloi' about men wearing bells and ribbons and dancing about to loud music - usually the noisier ones are invited to try to keep up.

The Border Morris (border of England and Wales) wear black, mostly, so black Utilikilts are much in evidence. Border morris involves clashing sticks - stout branches some 2 ft long, so they don't get many comments of a disparaging nature, though if they did there are always the dances which require longer, larger and altogether heavier sticks.

Basically, it isn't what you put on but how you wear it that sets the context.
