Do you think the Scottish kilt will benefit from UK's advertizing?

Salutations! Speaking strictly for myself, I can say that the Scottish kilt HAS benefited from UK's advertising. I started with a UK (original, then Mockers), and progressed to "real kilts" (sic).

I'm in the process of doing the same. I started with UKs, but am quickly switching interest gears towards much more traditional styles. It's nothing against UK. My tastes in styles are just changing.

I did more or less the same with Amerikilts. My tastes haven't changed, really- I still love my AK- it's just that there is such a huge variety! I just don't know where to stop!!
