I would argue that Steve and Rocky's kilts are more "modern children" to the traditional kilt based on traditional designs.

Bottom line: I think your desire for practicality is a good thing, and I salute you for it. But what is "practical" to one may be different to another. Mutual respect for different opinions is always a good thing to strive for.

Even if his "invention" is not consciously based on the Scottish kilt, the similarties cannot be denied. Convergent evolution, maybe?

Mutual respect? ABSOLUTELY!!!
I just had questions and thought this would be an interesting topic of conversation for a Friday!!!
