With every respect to those who hold the kilt 'sacred'... wasn't the kilt once worn whilst mucking out the goats? harvesting peat? probably emptying the lavies? and, as Downunder mentioned, going over the top?
For dressed events, a nice Sunday afternoon, dinner, formal occasions, etc, I think the kilt SHOULD be worn as the Victorians dictated and has been more or less 'fixed' since. For a day out at the football or rugby pitch, what's wrong with a bit of boot and scrunched hose? If it was okay for the trenchies, it'll do for me.
a few of the pix from #65, particularly the lad at Murrayfield, seem okay to me. Better people wear it with a more modern (in most cases, casual) twist than not wear it at all and have the kilt be relegated to the old folks home, and eventually, a museum.
Just my $.02 (.0133 GBP)
