Being in the United Kingdom, I have not seen the appearance of the Utilikilt as described by Rex, but I saw and have revisited the recording several times of Kenny Logan's kilted performance in last year's 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
One has to remember that the celebrities dancing in this very popular programme are, in effect, putting on a theatrical performance for the benefit of us viewers. The outfits they wear are, therefore, theatrical costumes - not what they might wear on the street! Scottish Rugby player, Kenny's black and silver kilt, top and, yes, briefs worked very well in my opinion. As for the Cuban heels, well I guess they were OK, if a little odd-looking with the kilt, as he was dancing a Latin-style Paso Doble!
Virtually all of the kilts worn in the film of "Brigadoon" had gold thread woven into the 'tartan' - I've never heard a negative comment concerning that!
[Apologies, Rex! I have somewhat taken your thread off on a tangent!]
Take care,
Ham.
