    A trouser forum?

    Would that be for the masochists, Freelander?

    It'd be nice if it were more commonplace to wear a kilt. But other than that I don't particularly care.

    I, personally, do not want to see kilts/cilts become mainstream.

    Personally, I like to be different (it's my hippy heritage - I still wear what's left of my hair long). So, for me, the longer and slower the popularity rise of kilts the better.

    Pragmatically, if kilts become trendy, there will be a brief burst of people wearing crap cilts (made from the crap cilt clan tartan - from the Table Isles). And then those oh, so trendy fluffy heads, will abandon the cilts as suits their traditions.

    Some of the fluffy heads will see the light and join us, "we few, we happy few, we band of brothers*".

    It is a chance to have more options in garments for the male.

    I think it would be super if kilts became more commonplace. Its a good sign that the mother of your pupil was so approving of the kilt; only a generation ago a kilted music teacher would have been considered oddball.
