I think most of this group are quite discriminating in their tastes, yes.
... when it comes to kilt length if it's an inch above the knee your wearing a skirt, and if it's an inch below your wearing a granny dress? Aren't all the above mentioned things personal preference?
Yes and No... Although men have worn kilts for a considerable period of time, it's still a niche fashion choice for daily wear. As Zeytoun point out, tradition, history, respect, etc. remain strong inlfuences in our decision making where the kilt is concerned. As this forum is about KILTS, we tend to stay within the boundaries of the accepted definition of KILT as a mans garment. If you choose to stretch the envelope, there's nothing to stop you.[/quote]
Shouldn't we all stick together no-matter how long are kilts are, an inch above the knee or an inch above the ankle does it really matter.
Where kilts are concerned, I believe we do stick together. This board isn't about fashion freedom. You need to visit the fine folks over at Tom's Cafe' to discuss those issues.
This is about comfort for you, not others.
Depends on your MO.
When you talk to nudists they say that they enjoy the freedom from the fashion industry. In your skin your you, not an ad for Nike or Calvin Klein. They then go on to pick on the flaws of others, "Did you see how hairy his back is" "That is a huge scar she has".
Non-sequitur
We have already broken away from "traditional" kilt wearing. Why are we hanging on to one last idea?
Not Really. We haven't broken away from anything. The modern kilt is just an evolutionary step offering a viable alternative. The demand must be there for the modern style to survive as it has. For the most part, they stay within the general boundaries of the currently accepted definition of KILT. (Spare the "kilt is a skirt" argument, please.) This, too, may evolve and change in the future. We'll have to wait and see. [/quote]
Just something to think about.
Yep.
