Kilt vs. Tartan?

[Barclay]

For me, it's all about the tartan. I have no objection to solid colour kilts, such as a saffron or green kilt for Irish heritage, or a tweed kilt a la the Balmoral ghillies -- but when push comes to shove, I wear a kilt as a symbol of my heritage, not necessarily for "freedom". Modern kilts -- well, they're just not my thing, though I don't begrudge anyone wearing them.

As expected, on the subject of traditionalism, Todd pretty much nails my feelings too. I'm in it for the tartan. I have no objection to non-traditional or modern kilts, and I own a Buzz Kidder OD canvas, I just don't care for them on me.

I like pants too - I have a couple of suits that I honestly look forward to wearing, and a pair of LL Bean chinos that are more comfortable than any kilt I've ever owned!

So, yeah. For me also, it's all about the tartan.



And Todd, I think that, at least concerning Barclay Dress, you know my feelings on trews: No. Just no...on my body, anyway.
