What is the future of the Kilt?

I always love it when these threads pop up. I for one hope the kilt does not become a "mainstream" male garment. The kinds of design and fabric choices necessary to create a kilt that can hang on a rack at Walmart with a $20 price tag do not excite me - and lets face it... that's "mainstream."

Right on Phil, I reserve my kilts for events that call for wearing a kilt, highland games, highland festivals, St Andrew's Society events and Kirk'ns. Of course I am a traditionalist and wear the kilt to honor my heritage and do my part to help preserve the tradition.

I agree...same with the crap quality ****/Royal Mile trash.

All kilts are fine...when they're made well and good quality fabric....wool, cotton, leather or whatever. More people wearing kilts....awesome, but when craftmanship and quality goes into the abyss (and I'm afraid that will happen) I gonna sit in a corner and cry
