Pringle of Scotland

Compared to that crap, we're downright conservative.

... If acceptance among the young of even these outlandish garments is widened, then kiltwearers will not appear so strange, what do you think?

Not sure, Graham... If somebody wasn't buying them, they wouldn't be making them. You never know... we may be witnessing the birth of kilt revolution. Then again, maybe it's just a hic-up.

A lot of what makes it to the fashion runway never really gets made for sale; it's just thrown up there to test reactions.

I went through their 2005 spring summer collection and found a couple of kilts, but from what I could see (which wasn't much) they looked a bit more "normal", Solid colors, but IIRC, they were of a traditional build (meanig a wide, flat, straight apron), and made of a more solid fabric than that parachute fabric.

Secondly, if such variants as the Utilikilt are accepted, are there any grounds for not accepting the Pringle variants?

Utilikilts are made by people who actually wear them. I doubt that these designers would be caught dead wearing most of the stuff they put in these fashion shows.

These fashionistas don't have a clue about how men actually wear kilts.

I think that why the kilt movement will remain a word-of-mouth movement for a long time.

Unlike most fashion movements, the "experts" can't seem to get their hands around this one.
