I just worked all day at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival and I saw many men in kilts. Then I heard myself tell my wife, "There are a lot of bad kilts here." Several kilts were cotton shirt (read thin) material wrapped around themselves or very shallow pleats, or pleats and apron that went the wrong way. One person had even used thin cotton material several yards long and instead of pleating it he wrapped it around himself many times and belted it on.

I am glad I know the joys of a well made kilt that looks good and feels good to wear and I felt bad for the ones who were trying to imitate the look without much sucess.

I do realize that I am glad to see so many men wearing a kilt of sorts and finding out the benefits of a kilt, even if the don't get the full benifit of a well made kilt.

I need to be more tolerant and help those who are trying and help educate them to the true meaning of being kilted.

I also saw some good looking kilts too.
