Wearing a kilt (perhaps, of a particular tartan) is one of the ways to honor another person. I hope to get a hunting MacLean to honor my wife. She already has a Farquarhson kilted skirt to honor me.
Not many people, today, seem to understand that we can honor others and events by how we dress. I guess, I grew up in another age where what you wore indicated your regard for others or an event.
