And that’s what that item is.

I have two Amerikilts and that’s all I need of that type.
Maybe not my choice, but I certainly applaud “more choices” in general.

Larry's comment and Jake's response make me feel like I should give some reasons why I wouldn't want a "Practikilt."

1. The general styling is a direct UK knockoff, but with UK's best features ignored.

2. The cargo pockets on the outside- I don't like them on UK's, FK's or anywhere else, but at least on UK's or FK's, they can usually be removed.

3. Pleat depth. The pleats are very shallow if the pictures on their website are any guideline. It gives the whole garment an A-shaping that makes it look more like a ladies' miniskirt. (I have no objection to men's sk**ts in general, but think that men's clothing should have a masculine style, which the Practikilt lacks for me.)

4. The fell seems to be sewn down for over half the garment, exacerbating point #3 above.

5. looking at the Museum Replicas main site (where the Practikilt page redirects to), and seeing what they offer as "traditional" kilts, shows a lack of knowledge about kilts in general.
