Most of these responses just confirm my previous supposition---that INTENT is the single most significant qualifier.
One who dons a UK or a Skilt probably does NOT intend to wear the kilt in a traditional manner. Period. One who dons the tartan kilt very likely intends to convey the message that they are mindful of the traditions and heritage of Scotland. Period. Although one may wear either kilt with any combination of shirt and footwear, it is quite likely that the tartan/tweed/traditional-styled kiltie will wear their kilt in a certain way that makes no bones about the direction in which they are aiming.
Leaving aside the differences that WE perceive, the general public, when presented with, for example, a Utilikilt and, say for example, a USA Kilt, will likely refer to the USA Kilt as a kilt and the Utilikilt as a man-skirt. I know that I did before I learned anything about kilts. Intention and appearance are 9/10 of the whole thing. The pornography illustration was perfect...and it just re-enforces my supposition.
