I resemble this remark!

Seriously, I have to agree with most of your response for the average new kilt wearer. A somewhat traditional kilt in at least a tartan-like pattern will be much more accepted and recognizable as a kilt than the contemporaries. Now, once you have taken the plunge (my first was a SWK Standard nightstalker), you can decide what is more comfortable and preferred for you.

My first (and currently only) kilt is a black AK. I have no problem. Yes I get some strange looks, people trying to figure out what it is, but that only makes a difference if you let it.

Be comfortable and confident in whatever you wear and others will see it and respect you and the Kilt!

Traditional tartans DO receive an immediate recognition as a "Kilt", so if there is any hesitance, get a SW, USAK, or Bear (though Bear is a little backed up it seems right now), and wear it!
