Alberta teen wins rights to kilt

That's fantastic! It's wonderful to see that someone manages to "win over the man" in a decent manner!

I am quite curious about the kilt they use as illustration in the article, though. There is a pocket of some sorts there, possibly as a modern interpretation of an attached sporran or something, I don't know. The strange thing is that it seems to be fitted over the pleats, and not on the front apron as one would expect. Anyone seen this before?

They used the same photo in the last go-round. I was wondering if an expert would comment on the thing, because to me it looks like a completely unique garment and is possibly not a kilt at all. More like a skirt with a bizarre book-holder kind of thing attached to the front?

My thought exactly! So, the question still stands: Anyone out there who might shed some light as to what type of special garment this might be?
