    I will not buy one of them for sure.
    I'm not defending it at all, just a few questions. Why is this not a kilt? Because someone says it isn't? Because of the material it's made of? Because it isn't made to the wearer's measurements?

    I recently purchased a SWK Standard Kilt and found it to be a garment, it definitely was not a kilt. So, if the SWK Standard Kilt can be called a kilt, why can't the garment you linked be called a kilt? Where do we stop with the word "kilt"?

    I'm not trying to start a war or anything, just curious.

    Because it's a towel.......

    It's a gimmick to use at the beach or the pool. Anyone seriously thinking of wearing one out and about should ask themselves why they don't just wear the towel they wrapped themselves in after a shower out to the store, the pub, or work.

    I still think these are great for swimming, but let's be real, it's a gag. It would be like wearing a see-ya-jimmy hat in place of a balmoral

    Curse you Colin. These two items was my last ditch effort to get kilt checked. The rubber chicken sporran just doesn't have the desired effect.

    You really just have to stop twirlling near women in the pub while wearing the "wanna see what's under it" shirt, Grant. It scares the women away....so I am told
