Yes, that's the one (thanks Dee).
The interesting thing to me is that even in Scotland, among Scots, we see this "tradition (history, photographs, advice from elders) be damned attitude" in which the kilt is worn in as iconoclastic a way as possible, especially among the younger generations. But then, as someone else remarked, the Scots, themselves may know less, and have less interest in knowing, about kilts and Scotland's National Dress, than people anywhere/everywhere else. It has been said (I have no way of verifying it) that there are more kilts worn in the US per percentage of the population than in Scotland.
All that said, a kilt, especially an 8 yarder made of 16+ ounce wool, does tend to slip down over the course of a day...especially for those people who have no hips to speak of (think there is a one inch difference between my waist size and my hips)....but I'm used to "hitching up" my jeans so doing the same for a kilt is no biggie.
