Bare with me... I had an odd dream last night, in which I was ridiculed by many people for wearing a Saltire Tartan kilt. Being as I am, not of Scottish decent, I suppose my subconscience is trying to tell me it wouldn't be right.

That being said... what is the opinion here as to the ethics behind, say, a born and bred American of English decent wearing a kilt made from the Saltire Tartan or a kilt made from a tartan representing a clan to which he does not belong?

I supppose I'm doing two things here... 1) Opening a nice friendly discussion, and 2) trying to put an unruly subconscience to rest.
