I can only say that my cousin in Aberdeen did call this morning and we got all cought up on the issue as well. I understand Caol & John Wayne what you both are saying and I agree with you. I am not going to pick up the nicely made second hand kilt in another's tartan for the sake of a few dollars.
I will call up someone today and have a MacFarlane Mouring Tartan kilt commissioned. John Wayne put it best when he mentioned "loyalty," loyalty to the clan, that was all I needed to hear. I do not need WWIII with anyone over the fact that I could be wearing his/her tartan and not part of his/her clan nor do I want to misrepresent my family and clan over this. The tartan goes back in your history and ties you in with people that your share family with. No need to piss anyone off, it is more important to me to teach my kids why we wear it and why you wear yours.
But most of all why we are proud to. Thank You John Wayne and Thank You Caol....
