People have their own perceptions and preferences, and I have no problem with that. My one and only issue here is for people to avoid such assertions as "anything with less than eight yards is not a real kilt."

I mean, even the nominal "eight yard" kilt often has less than eight yards of cloth. Let alone the historical (and modern revival of) the four yard box pleated kilt.

I'm just trying to correct a misperception about kilt yardage that is fairly common, be it in Scotland, Canada, the United States, or elsewhere.
