Sub-Forum Descriptors

That sounds great to me, I think a seperate place for contemporary styles will sort out a lot of the seeming confusion and resultant argument that we've been seeing.

I have one comment though, I feel that "The place for discussion of various alternative fashions, styles and manners of kilt wearing current today." sounds a little clunky, and the word "alternative" can mean different things to different people.

How about something like;
Non-Traditional Kilt Wear. The place for discussion of the various contemporary styles of kilts and kilt fashion today.

Sounds good to me but where does this fit in?

A plain black/white/pink kilt made with 8yd knife pleat 16oz pure Scottish wool hand sewn by a tradional kiltmaker worn with sporran, black argyll jacket, black hose and black brogues and we wanted to discuss what flashes to go with the hose?

The wearing is traditional but the kilt is not.

or

My MacLaren tank 8yd knife pleat 16oz pure scottish wool etc. worn with a tee shirt, no hose and sandals and wanted to discuss what colour baseball cap to wear?

The kilt is traditional but the wearing is not.

OK, above is exaggerated but still confused and would prefer just "Historical kilt wear" and "Modern Kiltware"

Just my half pence worth!

I like the "Non-Traditional Kilt Wear" where the "Non-Traditional" refers to either the kilt, or how it's worn. I know this is the way it is now, and I know it can sometimes be confusing. I know part of the reason for this thread was people calling for a sub-forum just for non-traditional kilts. I also know I've never seen such a sub-forum that had a new thread appear more than every 6 months or so. The "wearing of any kilt in a non-traditional way" threads are what gives that sub-forum enough traffic to be worth keeping. The problem I think is that there are not enough (of us) contemporary kilt wearers that care enough about how we wear them, to join forums such as this. I hope I'm wrong, I hope this is followed by a landslide of posts telling me how wrong I am. But I'm not holding my breath.

Oh, and I agree with Zardoz and EagleJCS on the wording.

Have Fun,
Tom
