Which tartan to wear?

[davidg]

That actually made me laugh out loud. I want to savor this moment: someone who is from Scotland wants to do something the American way about Scottish clothing. Probably the first and only time I will ever read this. hahaha

Think of it this way: When will you ever wear a MacLaren kilt ever again?

I suspect you will find some in Scotland who like the more relaxed American way. Another kiltmaker local to me surprised me a few months ago when he said he wears a different tartan kilt every day. There is also a precedent for this kind of thing as Jock explained in another thread because the MacLaren tartan is closely associated with Scouting and there is a sense that we are part of that clan in the same way I might wish to wear the Royal Air Force tartan or a US Marine the Leatherneck tartan or a piper the pipe band tartan. There will also be lots of other MacLaren events in coming years too

The reactions so far are very interesting though
