I've made a kilt from a tartanish wool and worn it to renfests and Highland games. But this Christmas my family bought me a kilt in MacFarlane hunting. That's my mom's tartan, and she's Scottish, not to be confused with an American of Scottish descent (by which I mean no offense, because I are one).

And last night, I wore it out in "public." My wife and I went to dinner. I was a bit surprised to hear absolutely no comments, but at least that means there was nothing negative.
