Well, at least this does clear up a couple of things, Todd.

So as a note:

After looking at several other sites, it does appear that the statement:


"Inspired by the khaki kilts issued to the Tenth Battalion Black Watch Regimen during WWI, Buzz Kidder's Celtic Shoppe created the Canvas Kilt, a popular
and practical alternative to a tartan kilt. The 10-oz. Army duck canvas kilt is sewn in the traditional style, with handmade pleats that are fully machine-stitched
for easy maintenance and durability."
From buzzkidder.com:

Is a mistake. Other sites state that it was the canvas kilt aprons that inspired this kilt.

I guess this boils down to the canvas kilt being an American creation inspired by things seen in WWI. In a way I wanted to make sure this canvas kilt is not Highland attire, but strictly American attire. It looks like that is the case.

The Khaki tartan and it's story happened to be an interesting offshoot, and hopefully more information on it will pop up in the future.
