Kilt, Skirt, MUG, etc.

Doesn't it really come down to Utilikilts would sell less of their garments if they called them men's skirts and would make less money? Looking at Utilikilts in denim and khaki, they really do look like skirts. Where as a proper wool tartan kilt, looks like and is a kilt.

Leathercubby,

That would only be the case if the word "skirt" was commonly understood to describe a garment intended for women. That being said, I think your first statement is correct. I'm not partial to UK's, but I don't think they look like skirts -- can't picture a woman wearing something with so many rivets in the crotch area.

Well, one good thing about this thread is it put me over the line, into the regiment. Kudos to me!!!
