Boy howdy. If you really like/have a connection to a Tartan that should be your 8 yarder. You don't want to be in a situation where you'd rather wear a lower quality kilt solely because you like the Tartan more. Congrats your 5 yarder just became a beater kilt. Now you can wear it to activities that potentially would soil/damage a kilt and not worry much.
