I wear tartan kilts most of the time, mainly because they look nice, but also because the general public know what to make of it -- "it's Scottish, so he must be Scottish" -- whereas some people feel ill at ease with a man wearing something less easily identifiable.

On the other hand, once the warm weather arrives, I'm happy to put on my plain light-coloured home-mades. If there were any really light-coloured tartans that did not remind me of dishcloths, I'd get one, but there does not seem to be anything available.

But black? No, not on my wish list. I have no black clothes at all.
