    Going with the standard that a "traditional" is a kilt with a traditional look, and a "contemporary" is a non traditional look, I have to go with the traditional.

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with buying a budget kilt if that's what your wallet and lifestyle call for.

    MUGs are not kilts. They are more kilt-like articles. I have nothing against people who choose to wear them, but I kinda feel like it's just an attention grabber if there's no history or tradition behind it. You wanna buck the status quo and not wear pants? Fine. Not having legs on your cargo shorts does not make them a kilt.

    I thought the origins of kilt were Norse?
