Each of us took to kilts for various reasons and often for multiple reasons. The fact is (heresey coming) kilts are not holy relics or objects of worship. I have kilts in family tartan, Black Watch and plain denim. I wear whatever fits with what I'm doing. Sometimes I dress up, but not often. When temps hit 90+F I'm sure not wearing wool hose or a jacket. I'm going to dress for the weather. Yes, I do like the traditional look but often it simply isn't practical for any number of reasons. I do respect the views of the traditional guys but I also respect other views. We're gentlemen here. I think we can avoid hostility over it.
