Waistband height utility kilt

[James Hood]

We live in a world where veritably everything (including the evil covid-plague) is accessible to many more people in many more places, than their original point(s) of origin, and seemingly, the speed-of-spread happens faster and faster, all the time.

Three articles of clothing which really come to mind as having become truly "worldwide garb" in our lifetimes are; the ubiquitous blue jeans (descended from canvas sailcloth and used as rancher-farmer-workman's garb), "tee shirts" and athletic shoes.

Contemporary and utility-kilts are a nano-outtake of what was for centuries, a local garment. Others have called utility kilts an evolution of the traditional kilt, which is seemingly quite an accurate statement.

Many other garments have evolved "wildly and out of control," especially in the past 200 years...

...could one realistically have expected the kilt to escape this uncontrolled, free-for-all, change (excuse the unintended pun), Scot-free?
