I agree, Jock, even at a quick glance it would be pretty had to confuse this with a traditional kilt.

That said, though, I like it! If the traditional kilt were to evolve beyond mere tradition and start to gain attributes for functionality in the modern world, this kilt would likely be the result. It retains a strong sense of traditional styling and form, yet satisfies the need for large cargo pockets and modern belt-wearing trends.

Is this kilt made to be worn at the actual waist, or lower down on the hips like a modern kilt? Judging by the length of the fell, I'm guessing the latter. That, too, would make it more of a modern style kilt, departing pretty drastically from tradition. But again, it's what most people would want in a modern evolution of the traditional kilt.

All in all, I think it's great! While I mostly wear traditional kilts, I do like the functionality of my Utilikilt for hiking and working outside, and would love to own a 'cargo kilt' like this that would be a compromise between tradition and modern functionality.

As for Robert of RKilts not wanting to make this again, I think he would change his mind if the money was good enough. The question is... does a market exist for this style? If so, how much would people be willing to pay for one like this?
