Traditional kilt attire is very much a "living" thing and moves slowly, much more slowly than some new-----mainly, but, not always, those from outwith Scotland leading the charge------ to kilt attire may think or even, wish. Traditional kilt attire has never been frozen in time, nor should it ever be. I hope that I never see "Kilt Hire Attire" (KHA) being regarded as Traditional. However, it may well be seen as Traditional at sometime in the future.
With the shear weight of KHA internet advertising leading the charge and the impatience of the next generations,------ who have not the access to the dwindling number of those with real traditional kilt attire knowledge------ who want instant access and gratification at mass produced knockdown prices, then it is almost inevitable. Without wishing my life away, I hope that I don't live to see it!
