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.
don't agree with all your points but I agree with the sentiment. and for some of us, this is the military medal. If blood has been spilled then that is due respect. I'm "entitled" to wear Black Watch but it's been so commercialized that it's a moot point. Gordon looks nice, but I would never wear the yellow stripe of the military pattern. My own rule, blood was spilled, respect should be shown. Would I challenge somebody wearing it? Who am I to do that?
