Underkilt

[KiltedPilot]

Devil's Advocate here:

I am not sure we can criticise manufacturers for trying to use 'kilt' instead of 'skirt' to describe their skirts for men, until WE get over OUR hangups about the word 'skirt', or come up with an alternative word (please not 'mug'). Aren't WE the ones with the problem? The manufacturers are just trying to help us deal with it.

I ain't criticising anyone here -- I feel discomfort about the word 'skirt' also. I am more laid back than I was, as my experience is that many women naturally call a Utilikilt a skirt. Sometimes in innocence, sometimes playfully, but rarely to insult.

nb. I'd not consider any of the JDez products personally - most are too girly.

No...I think that it's then called "going Polynesian".

I don't see it as a problem at all. Manufacturers aren't into helping anyone deal with anything. They're helping themselves to as much profit as can be got. We each have our own viewpoint and definition of what's a kilt and what isn't. Some of us are more traditional than others but I'm sure we each have our limit on what we'll accept.
