I would like to submit a proposal to the membership

Steve, I see so little in common between what I've seen you wear and Utilikilts or other kilts in our current contemporary grouping that I can't imagine in any way seeing them in the same subforum. You have nothing in common with say, the "Bad Piper." Those styles may need a fourth category for them.

Given that, I would like the concept.

Maybe turn "modern street wear" into two groups: Modern Tartan Street Wear and Non-tartan Street Wear

While I like where you are going with this idea I am not sure about your definition of Modern Street Wear for the reasons Father Bill brings up above as well as others I will elaborate on below.
I have been a full time kilt wearer in the past I wore the kilt daily for something like 5 or 6 years. Most of the time I would be going into the office and would wear something akin to your example in the Three Amigos photo. Below is a photo of me in a fairly normal outfit for that time.



To my way of thinking even without the crommach and Balmoral bonnet this is a Traditional outfit and would not really fit into the Modern Street Wear category it also would not fit Highland Event wear as I was going about my normal business that day.

This is a timely post for me. I was trying to figure out where to post for ideas about using some fabric I have to make a multiuse woman's "costume" to wear to faires and maybe to Highland games. The categories you propose would have cleared up where to post. I would think the Historical and Costume forum would be the safe place for this sort of question?

This sounds like a perfect example of a post I would expect to see in the Historical and Costume forum.
