For those who wear both, did you find it took more audacity to wear a modern kilt? In your opinion, are your modern kilts just as much a "kilts" as your tartan traditionals? Do you experience different reactions from people between the two styles?

Wear 'em if you got 'em!

I'll take on both of these. As to the first, it took a while to accept the modern kilt and longer to decide that I would wear one in public, or private for that matter. At first I didn't see them as a kilt and then...

For the second... I finally decided to try one so I got in touch with Jeff at PK and he fixed me up with a great cammo kilt. Wanting to just jump in and get it over with, I wore it twice over the course of a weekend. Once to a SASS (single action shooting society) event and then to a N-SSA (north-south skirmish association) event. Both involve mostly good'ol boys so I figured after that I could survive just about anything. Reaction to the cammo kilt was very good in both groups. In fact I think it may have gone over better with my fellow shooters than the traditionals they normally see me in.

Now I have several solid kilts along with the cammo and am ready to jump on another of Jeff's fine productions. Yep, they'er kilts alright.
