Hmmm... Guess the Wizard has a time machine now... Hopefully no one starts a company called "ContempaKilts."

A Hummer??

[Woodsheal]

"Jeep" is perfect...!

I like "JEEP" for a well-built contemporary kilt. The original Willie (sp?) jeep was a well-built, dependable go anywhere/do anything vehicle. You could beat the c**p out of them and they'd still run and they were low maintenance. Pretty much like a lot of the contemporary kilts available today. Sport Kilts and Utilikilts come to mind.

Wellll.... If we go by the definitions I wrote down (which were the ones in use at the time and pretty well accepted)

A Sport Kilt would be defined as a Casual Style Kilt. It retains the styling of a Traditional Style Kilt with full apron and Traditional Pleating, but uses a fabric other than Kilt Wool. It also will be machine machine sewn.

A Utilikilt is referred to as a MUG or (Male Un-Bifurcated Garment). This is the term Steven V. uses to describe his product. I did not define it so, he did. To quote Steven, "It's a skirt! Get over it."

Contemporary kilt does describe a particular modern stylel, however, if you're looking for a one size fits all short term how about "Dailys", as in "Its what I where daily"?

From what I read, even those who own multiple Tanks, don't always wear them daily. Someday I'll own some tanks, but for right now I have my Dailys.

Cheers,

I think Steve's point is well made - I may be re-inventing the wheel with this thread. What I was thinking of was a "shorthand" term for the "modern" kilt much like the term "TANK" is shorthand for the 8 yard hand sewn traditional tartan kilt. The flaw in my logic may be that "TANK" only needs to represent one kilt type while some other shorthand term would need to stand for a range of modern kilt styles. With that acknowledgement made - I still like the term "JEEP" - even if it is a a somewhat pointless exercise.

And Phil, the other thing that should be thought of is that Jimmy wasn't trying to make up another word or define a style of Kilt. He simply said "The well made Hand-Sewn Kilt will wear like a Tank." And the thing just took off all on it's own.
It's like that some times with History.

True - I guess its like setting out to create a "cult classic" film - the effort is doomed from the start. Magic happens when it happens.

Cheers!
