    Here's an idea that's a bit out there:

    An "electronic cloth" that can be programmed to display different tartans or other designs, similar to the "electronic paper" we already have (e.g. Amazon's Kindle). Of course, there would probably need to be many advances in miniaturization and materials science to make such a cloth possible, and it would still probably never be as fine quality as worsted wool.

    Coming back to the here and now, I agree with everything Rocky said.

    I'm quite happy with the traditional kilt as it is just now, that said I'd quite like one with The Wizzard's pockets.

    The electronic kilt idea could be good even if it is just for the geek factor
    The hielan' man he wears the kilt, even when it's snowin';
    He kens na where the wind comes frae,
    But he kens fine where its goin'.

    As far as what I want in a kilt - I already have it. A garment that fits well, looks good, and is built to last.

    I don't suppose that anyone will be surprised that I have some sympathy with this comment.

    I like wearing casual kilts for hiking and I think there's much room for innovation and improvement there. I find the Elkommando kilt comfortable but would like to see improvements in the look. I would like to see more muted tartans and new fabrics for hiking and outdoors.
