Well I can't speak to the Tartan non-tartan question as the only kilt i currently own is a Black Utilikilt. I have had some people comment on it but not many and my Wife loves me in it, (Reason enuf to wear it right there )

I don't wear it all the time but i am wearing it more often, my parents don't get it but they accept it...however i have only worn it once out with them an since that was to the Toronto Island i did not get much flack, i'll have to try it to a Bigger family function and see what reactions i get.:
