However he mentioned over a cold beer yesterday that he doe's check on E Bay regularily for Kilts but the chance of his family tartan and size coming up is nigh on zero. He is also aware there is now quite a diversity of kilts available at really good value prices but obviously not in his tartan. He also asked me out of interest .. At what point does a Kilt cease to be a Kilt. I didn't know how to explain it just like that so I said I would ponder on it and let him know. I'm still trying to put it together other than the obvious things .. ie fasten to the left etc etc. Any help in explaining gratefully received.

A kilt is defined as a man's wrap-around and pleated skirt that is typically made of a tartan material..

Just so everyone is on the same page - the instant this thread turns into another 'my kilt's better than your kilt' thread, like the one that Colin locked earlier today, it's going to go the same route.

With that in mind, carry on.

A kilt is a kilt is a kilt. There is nothing more to it

"...and GTRMAN takes the ball from midcourt... he's heading straight up the middle...he's at the freethrow line...he's going for a layup...GTRMAN shoots...and...he...SCORES! The crowd goes wild!"

Sometimes short and sweet does the job best!
