There is a lot more in the realm of traditional Scottish attire than clan tartans.
Aye, well written Matt. I agree in that I'm not a big fan of "contemporary" style kilts either, but I don't begrudge anyone's choice to wear them as long as they don't begrudge mine to wear wool in a more "traditional" manner, rather it be tartan or solid tweed colours.
However a recent thread on gardening & kilts has swayed me to the idea of a canvas kilt for such endeavors so as not to wear out my more expensive wool kilt & to easily aide in cleaning up!
