I don't know that it's snobbish but I just like the look and feel of traditional tartans. I have nothing against the UK lovers - it's just not me. Right now I just have the 3 kilts for different occassions and I wear them appropriately. I have a SWK Black Watch for daily and sporting events and then a SWK Black Stewart for outings and a MacDonald Modern tank (8 yd, 16 oz, 100% wool) for more formal occassions. Like it's been said before, just feel comfortable with the kilt for the occassion.
