Non-tartan kilts

[Blackrose87]

I think it is pretty obvious that if a full blown 8 yard tartan traditional kilt is like a pair of formal tuxedo slacks, then the utilikilt type "MUG" is the chain wrapped, studded cargo pants. I think you ought to wear one accordingly. Out in the woods, in a workshop, at a concert? Sure. To a formal event, no way. But as a way of gaining additional kilt acceptance and bringing in younger kilt wearers I think the MUG is invaluable.

I would have thought it was the other way round. Many younger people would buy cheaper PV or similar tartan kilts, for going to football etc.
And then maybe go on to buy a ultikilt.

I just can't see people here buying a ultikilt as their first kilt, if at all really.

I agree. At first I purchased cheaper more traditional styles, and then got into the utilities for hiking and such activities. I like the utility style very much, but I still tend to lean to the trads for most activities, including hiking. A hunting style sporran really negates the need for all those pockets, so there's not really a benefit to wearing the modern. It really comes down to my mood on what I'll wear that day.
