Are these kilts?

Vernacular english is closely related to dialect. it is the standard native language of a country but is usually related to a locality. so the lady at the museum in london was using the broader term of yank dialect. myself being from the south, would disagree. but the brotherhood of kilt wearers covers the entire country if not the world (see xmark map of members).

I was very fond of that 'standard' style and regret its passing. Here's a photo of my first Utilikilt (November 2000). It has faded over the years but it is a Caramel Workman's model and is in the 'standard' style:

This kilt is now archived in my Kilt Kollection and was replaced a year ago by a current Caramel Workman's UK. I have four 'standard' UKs and seven 'Neo-Trads', and there is absolutely no way I would wear a sporran with any of them.

Hamish, of all the pics i've seen so far that one is brilliant!!!!!

Hell, we just took the ENGLISH language and as Americans are apt to do, we improved on it!

No wonder it is such a crazy sport...Only one I know of where rules just weren't strong enough, they had to go on an make Laws to govern it! Exactly what to rugby police look like? Are they kilted, and, more importantly, are they allowed to carry firearms? Rugby players can be a bit out of control...most of the time!
