The kilt evolves whether you like it or not. It has gone from being a great kilt to what we wear today... If you don't like evolution, your 8 yard traditional is not a kilt either by your standards. It's a skirt. A real kilt would be a great square of some sort of plaid that you rolled your self up in and tied with a belt. That is the only true kilt there is if you do not allow evolution.

Who cares, all that matters is that you stop wearing troosers. They are uncomfortable.
