A call to regulate the term "kilt"

[ccga3359]

I agree totally. A garment that is machine-made of other than true tartan, and not custom made to the wearer's measurements, is not a kilt. Instead of using the word "kilt", they should use the word "garment". Any kilt is also a garment.. but any garment is not always a kilt regardless of how you dress it up. There is simply no comparison between a Rolls Royce and a Volkswagen Beetle.

But it also stated that it had to be made in Scotland to be called a kilt. What about our Newsome or Tewkesbury? They would be merely handsewn garments? Although they would be of no less quality. This is the first step of Kilt Police (sit down Panache!).

On a lighter side, at one time Rolls Royce was owned by Volkswagen. instead let's compare the VW beetle to a Porsche 356...
