Kanye

[Jock Scot]

For this group, Mel Gibson and the Outlander series have helped recognize the kilt as real (not a costume) clothing.

They have?

I respectfully beg to differ.

Whilst I know very little about the Outlander series, in my experience TV shows and costume dramas of which the one Mel Gibson starred in wearing the kilt is a prime example and has, perhaps unwittingly, ensured that the unknowing majority who know little about kilts and care even less, regard almost any civilian kilt as a costume.This is only perpetuated when some pop star wears some abomination of a version of a kilt.

Jock has pointed out that I was not clear when I added, "For this group ..." The group I meant was XMark members, not the general public.

The OP was questioning Kanye's kilt wearing and our (XMark members) reaction. I was comparing the movie and TV series with the threads offered here by folks interested in great kilts and related gear.

Jock, I will try to be more specific and not attempt to match Oranges with Orangutans (even though the color is similar).

Um, I am very sorry but the correct terminology is -

The Kilted Cognizati.

It's kinda like the Illuminati of kilts.

I was unaware that information had been declassified for use on the open forum.
