just a point to keep in mind. There are those, like my dad, who believe that military tartans are always worn respectfully. A Black Watch, a specific Gordon, some others are not to be worn casual because the "blood has been spilt".

After that it's up to you. It's one of those cultural things: like the American flag thing, we don't have that but we look down on wearing uniforms if you never served which Americans don't seem to mind.

And this train of thought doesn't need to be explored very much, keep the mods happy.

Well, given the fact that I live in sweden... the likelyhood of him being aware of the History behind the Black Watch and their expoits, let alone being able to recognice the tartan as Black Watch modern.... Well lets just say that it's highly unlikely.

Or... the guy was rude and staring.

That's my guess.

yeah, that basically rules that one out, go with rude.

Not necessarily; the Pipes & Drums of the Swedish 1st Engineer Regiment wear the Black Watch tartan:

I did not know about these guys. It seems as if they're not a formal part of the swedish armed forces music corps though, rather an honorary band of the now disbanded 1st royal engineer regiment.

But the band is still going strong.
