That is the beauty of the kilt, we can wear tartan to show affinity to traditions, i.e. the military tartans, family association, the clan tartans, place ,the area tartans, and/or we can wear solid color kilts because they suit us, they are perfect for work, or simply just because we like them. the kilt is a garment and tartan is just an exstension of the kilt. My wool tartan kilts have their place as does my Victory kilt from USAKilts, I love all of them. It is too easy to get caught in a rut as to specifics. Be knowledgable about your tartan you wear, have a laugh and live life just the way you want to but always remember, the kilt is part of us and wea are part of the kilt, together we are whole.
