As for the video, I had two roommates who decided to make a kilt out of a pattern they got at, I believe, Walmart.... Now, if these two had been going to represent a particular clan or were intent on "doing it right", of course I would have stepped in offered what gentle direction I could. As it was, however, my friends were only in search of a 'simple, easy-to-make' costume to wear to the Ren Faire the next day. At that point, as long as they know the pleats go in the back, more power to them. It's highly likely that the majority of patrons at the faire wouldn't know the difference anyway. I think the same goes to the makers of this video. Could more context been put into the video/description? Of course but then again, I'm sure Karl just wanted to provide his online community of youtubers with a kilt-like pattern instruction not too unlike the ones that my friends did indeed wear to the Ren Faire. I'm certain he never thought twice about the Kilt Police flagging him down and giving him "pleating tickets"....

Plus, he's college age... and for those who don't remember, 18 is when you THINK you know everything, college is when you KNOW you do....
