    Abbv.

    Hope this fits under General Kilt Talk... but I was hoping all ye lads (lasses) could provide some help for all these Kilted Abbreviations I see kicking around.

    Most I have been able tae figure out from either there Context (read~ Previous useage in said thread ect.), however some are proving rather enigmatical... :-?

    USAK ~ U.S.A. Kilt?
    UK ~ UtiliKilt...
    SK ~ SportKilt

    I have seen others, but forget now, what they were.

    (While I am at it, or perhaps THIS should be in another thread.. what is the difference, and not talking pricing here, or usage as it seems if taking the advice of everyone here at once, they can all be used anytime really... but rather in design mostly)

    Diolch.

    SK could also be Stillwater Kilts.

    This page on my site links to most of the casual kiltmakers. The best way to answer your last question is to see for yourself.

    Perhaps these abbreviations would best be put into the FAQ?
