History of Contemporary and Non-Traditional Kilts?

[Bugbear]

Good question Ted, I await the answers with interest.

Well, Jock, you saw a picture of my non-traditional kilt the other day. That was a Buzz Kidder canvas kilt. Buzz Kidder appears to be out of Bisbee Arizona not too far from where I live.

As far as I can find out, it is an American concoction, created back in the nineties, and inspired a bit by the WWI canvas kilt aprons. Were I designing it, I would have done a few things differently. I have made a few minor alterations since the pictures.

* Pictures removed. *

It's the only non-traditional looking kilt I have, so really the only one I can talk about. The Stillwater kilts are fairly traditional looking, and don't exactly fit into this category.

I'm actually hoping The Wizard of BC will enlighten us, seeing as how he is in the middle of all of this.
