21st Century Ankle-Length Kilts

[KiltedKnight]

...It's not something I would ever consider wearing, but because of the construction I don't think it qualifies as a skirt. If we are going to disqualify it from consideration because of its difference in length from a traditional kilt, then by the same token we should disqualify the use of kilt to describe such things as Utilikilts & NeoKilts. Since there seems to be general agreement that the modern contemporary kilts are still kilts despite their deviations from traditional standards, I would submit that we should view these ankle-length monstrosities as a curious variation that is still a kilt but hopefully a version that won't survive the test of the market.

You're absolutely right again sir. These bring back to mind the "Man Bag" of the early 1970's which were no more than scaled up versions of womens purses. They were popular with the gay set for a while and then even they stopped using them, perhaps because they were heavier than womens purses, I dunno...

I think it's because us guys like having both hands free -- for eating and drinking beer with one hand while fending off retched foes with the other.

I'm beginning to think that rules about kilts are like rules about love. The rule only applies to the person who made it.
