As I stated in the other thread. It is not an actual saltire, merely an optical illusion. It shows the cross only when pleated correctly. If you open the pleats it would not show a saltire. I am very leary regarding the wearing of a national flag as clothing, but since this is illusional it is IMHO not a national flag. Chef I say get the kilt if this is what you want, because I'm sure you will wear it with the utmost pride and respect.
