To my eye, I find well worn( as in used) kilt attire with its faded colours and with dings and dents in the leather and metal work etc., is far more attractive than the "just out of the shop" look. In fact many of the "old school"here, are almost embarrassed to wear new attire and go to great lengths to keep their old attire going for as long as possible and often well past its "use by" date! It is something those in the "New World" often fail to grasp.
