How hard do you have to look to tell a trad from a semi-trad?

[RockyR]

Sorry in advance if this post sounds "aggressive"... I didn't intend that. I just am trying to clarify things and shed some light on other things.


I'd like to clarify something...

Poly Viscose Vs. Wool kilt is NOT like "Saturday Night Fever" Poly suit compared to an Armani. PV is "not your daddy's Polyesther".

I've done lots of research and compared several dozen kinds of material to wool. From wool blends to cotton blends to straight cotton to blah blah blah. Bottom line... EXPENSIVE wool is expensive wool and there's no EXACT substitute. That being said... PV, IN MY OPINION is as CLOSE as you're going to get without dropping the big bucks.

We've done kilts for weddings with guys who had the same fears you had... There were going to be several (if not dozens) of kilted Scots in attendance and they didn't want to look "out of place", especially being the groom and his men! Every wedding party (that has come back to the shop after the wedding) was VERY happy to report nothing but positive comments about the Semi Trads.

COULD someone ask you if it IS a wool kilt or another material? Yes.

Would they insult you for wearing it? MORE THAN LIKELY not.

Does it matter what someone else says about you? If you had the guts to wear a kilt in the first place, I'd be surprised if this was even a question.
