For a contemporary kilt:
  • hemp/cotton or hemp/recycled poly
  • reverse kinguisse pleating with full aprons and sewn-down pleat edges
  • length - traditional waist down to the knee
  • side slash pockets and an underapron pocket
  • large belt loops
  • fastening - straps for adjustment, but non-leather for ease of care

Sounds like the offspring of a Freedom Kilt and a RKilt, doesn't it? But here's the kicker - to be my "Ideal" contemporary kilt, that hemp fabric has to be tartan.
