Ethics and courtesies of branching into other tartans?

[Highland Logan]

Honestly no one can answer this for. No one here, or anywhere, regardless of what their opinion is can say yes or no to that.

So you pick up a kilt in clan X tartan. A member of that clan questions you about it at some event. Your answer is.. some random guy on the internet said it was okay?

Do what you want, just know some people won't like it. If it a club, military, university etc, maybe stay away. Those types of things are generally, so long as they are the official recognized version for those who have earned the right to wear them. Be it by being a paid, serving, graduating, etc. And as above regardless of one member of that group saying sure go ahead... unless they have the right to represent that group and make broad pronouncements... it's just another random person.

My own take, is of course my own.
