Oddly, I have found inner peace after reading this thread. I have accepted the strictest deffinition of a kilt as the true kilt, and everything else to me is "kilt-like." I now have the freedom to wear my kilt-like garments without worrying about their status... OOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM.

My wrists are still burning with pain, and the kettle of boiling oil was heavy.

Guys, Chef is right. How can a canvas cloth garment with big cargo pockets on the side resemble a kilt? It doesn't, nor well it. It does resemble a pair of cargo shorts however. There are members of this board that would rather wear a skirt than pants. Guess what no one here really cares. The problem seems to be that some of these people do not want to admit that, and would rather say it's a kilt, a traditional Scottish garment. Do you think Suzie Homemaker, and Joe Six-pack don't know what a kilt is when they see one? Do you think the members of this board don't know what a kilt is? If you want to wear a man-skirt, it's great, really... it is. Power to ya... but stop thinking that anyone is fooled by the "it's a kilt, a Scottish garment" line. Show some integrity and "man up" to the lifestyle choices you have made, and stop hiding behind the national dress of Scotland. Here is a quote from the introduction to X-Marks... "This is not a forum for men looking to wear womens clothing nor is it a forum for other types of men's un-bifurbricated garments. If you want to know more about kilts then you have come to the right place!"

Since Suzie and Joe come up to me in the grocery store, the hardware store, the mall, the movie theater, and on the street and say things like, "That's a great kilt", "Where did you get that kilt?", "I'd love to see my husband in a kilt like that." while I'm wearing a Utilikilt (or Union Kilt or RK or PK), the yes I think they do know what a kilt is.

This thread has finally crossed the line.

There have been several very reasonable responses posted about the differences between Modern/Contemporary kilts and traditional Scottish ones. The Moderators have tried to be open and allow this discussion to continue to hopefuly come to a natural conclusion.

X Marks the Scot is a place for contemporary/modern kilt wearers as well as Traditional Scottish Kilts. We are just as much about about wearing a Utilikilt Workman to a rock concert as we are about putting on Highland dress to a céilidh.

No one has argued that a modern/contemporary kilt ia a traditional Scottish Kilt.

But as far as XMTS goes modern/contemporary kilts are kilts and discussion of them is welcomed and encouraged.

The word "kilt" has evolved to cover a range of skirts for men that are intended/ designed as masculine garments.

Whether or not people can accept this is up to them. What we the moderating staff will not accept are individuals accusing significant numbers of our membership of cross dressing. That is completely out of line and those that are incapable of showing respect to others here on XMTS will be contacted by the Moderators.

Is this not the “Contemporary & Non-Traditional Kilts” forum section?
