Jim,
Well put. I feel the same way about when and why wearin' one. I'm not concerned that someone is or is not wearing a kilt or what 'looks' like a kilt. If that's what floats their boat, more power to them. Lots of guys go for the shock value. Speaking for myself.....i've got purpose, I don't think I'll buy any other type of kilt which represents a clan (unless I become one of their clergy) I think this can lead to foolish arguements.
1. You are not going to change anyone's very point about what they want to wear. They will soon enough find people calling their "Tripp" kilt a skirt as I do my wife and few friends. 2.
2. It seems quite ironic that a kilt wearing, scot decendant would mock someone else's wear. Consider everything you've defended in your right and/or desire to wear a kilt! Why would you want to put someone else in that place unless you just want to give them a hard time.

Let me assure you, I'm not crazy about that "Tripp" kilt. It seems quite silly to me, but my wife rolls her eyes when I come walking out in my kilt, "just to wear around the house". I guess I've matured since my first view that it was "IT'S NOT A KILT?" to more of It's kilt like, but I'm not crazy for it. Knock yourself out if you like it!
