But also, the geographic of it, It seems that Kilts are mainly, for the US, in the Midwest/Northest (the North) and then in the Southwest? (notwithstanding Fl, which is a northern state, regardless of what the map says.) The main kilt places that I can think of from the top of my head are Rocky in PN, (nw) Alpha and Urban Kilts in IN (MW) as well as SWK and Frugal Corner in MN, I forget the one in AZ (sw) and isn't Flamingo out of Cali? Then Utilikilts is from Wash, I think, and then a handful in Canada. I know there are a few people here from Ky/Tn, but beyond that, are there really many kilt wearing southerners?
The first guy I ever saw wearing a kilt as day to day attire was on a ferry/coach trip from Dublin to Glasgow (yes he was a Scot). That was in 1999.

I think the day to day wear has always been around for some, but the introduction of the low cost kilts, most of which seem to be in the US, appeals more to a US market. I wouldn't say the US started it, but it certainly is more vocal on here by US members.
