    It doesn't bother me that women wear kilts, it's just that I remember that Utilikilts are made specifically for men and advertised that way. Like KiltedBishop said, I remember seeing or hearing something from Steven Villeagas (sp) to the effect that his kilts are a men's garment and that would never change.

    It would be like putting a cross-dressing male in the Victoria's Secret catalog. Everyone is entitled to wear what they want, but UK made a point of marketing to men. It's the inconsistency.

    I raised this very point on the Utilikilts forum about four years ago, maybe longer, and was practically shouted off the 'premises'. Personally, I don't think Utilikilts (in particular) look 'right' on women anyway, at least not on feminine women.

    As for our traditional kilts being worn by women: no, no and no again! Even in pipe bands. If a male soldier finds himself in a women's army band, is he expected to wear a skirt? No, of course not. So why should women pipers in a mostly male pipe band wear a male uniform? Utter nonsense!
