TRADITION: let's (re)define it.

[Jock Scot]

Jock,

Let me ask yet another question of you ...and all those following this thread...when does a 8 yard knife pleated denim kilt with castellated diced hose, staghorn sgian and a classic seal sporran cross over from Modern to Traditional (no dates included)? Or vice versa?

Where do you draw the line? And who will draw it?

I am trying to bow out of this discussion, as I don't want this to be Jock's "crusade".

You do raise a valid point though. For me, others will differ no doubt, I think to stay in the "traditional" camp the kilt would have to be wool and tartan, or, tweed. Synthetic materials, even in tartan(a tricky one I know------how do I know what the kilt is made from, from a distance, or photograph?OK I am open to persuasion here!), have not been around long enough as far as I am aware. Denim would, in my view, qualify in kilt terms, as modern.
