Costume? COSTUME? Kilt attire when worn outwith the theatre, or, film set is NOT a costume! The term is, please: "kilt attire": 
In the "Old World" as you put it, there are with civilian kilt attire, traditions, conventions, accepted practice, experience and the elusive and the almost indefinable term of "good taste" , to follow and to consider, but, there are NO RULES to guide us. I should add that many of us over here do wear the kilt for comfort too. The military have things much better organised with their Dress Regulations, but not so for civilians. I think this is what confuses those of you outwith the Highlands of Scotland. I have to also add that the "Kilt Hire Company Look", with their myriad of unhelpful internet pictures, even within Scotland, does add to the confusion too!
