Tartan Kilts definately have more soul than the solid contemporary kilts.

When I look at my BlackWatch Kilt, I think about soldiers who died to protect my way of life.

When I look at my Black Setwart Kilt, I think about Jackie Stewart's Career as a F1 Driver, a Team Owner, and an inspiration. It tells people that I am a F1 Fan.

When I look at my Bristish Columbia Kilt, I know that I am a proud British Columbian and I want to show the world that.

Aside from the symbolisms behind the Tartans, I also know that I will have plenty of memories that will associate with each one of them.

With my solid Utilikilts, I can only see them as garments that I wrap around my waist. They only show that I am a kilt wearer, and no more.
