Contemporary vs Traditional

[Roderick]

You may be opening up a can of worms here because there are any number of people on this board who seem to have difficulty rationally discussing contemporary vs. "traditional" kilts (which are actually modern kilts, but that's a whole other can of worms). I can only speak from my own experience, and I would point out that my first kilt was a contemporary/MUG-type garment.

I'm glad to have done it that way. It's something a little like jeans and a little not, and I found that eased my transition from wearing jeans all the time to thinking about jeans none of the time. If that makes sense. Without the contemporary kilt in there, I don't know that I could have conceived of myself wandering about the city (and country, and forest, and mountains, and backroads, and...) in a full-on tartan kilt and sporran.

Again, this is only my experience.

I think Steve's got a couple of pretty good points up there in his posts. ^^
