Yes, I'm aware of the prohibition, Dave, but I was trying to find out if it would make any practical difference so far as kilts are concerned.

Btw, the difference in the Buddhist tartan was the coloring, as I recall, with saffron being more predominant in the version used by monks and nuns. I just never caught if they planned to wear kilts in that monastery.

P.S. doesn't that question about the Buddhist tartan confuse tartan with kilts?
