I Am New To Kilts, But I Was Drawn To Them As I Am Of Scottish Decent. I Like Them Because They Are Comfortable. For Me Personally I Like The Tartan Choices. I Prefer To Have Them With Family Connections. I Would Say I Am Drawn More To A Traditional Non Pocket Kilt, But In Today's World Pockets Are Almost A Must. I Think Basic Economics And The Law Of Supply And Demand Will Solve This. If There Is No Need The Item Becomes A Fad And Quickly Fades. If It Last There Is A Need And Group That Enjoy The Product. All Kilts W / Wo Pockets, Wool, Or Other Fabric, Solid Or Tartan Serve A Roll In Expanding Our Kilted Community.:d
