Todd -

I respect and envy you for having an understandable reason for wearing the kilt.

I have been told by people that it is wrong and just WEIRD for me to wear one since I am not Scottish.

My respect for your Scottish traditions is one of the reasons I asked early on if Scottish people weren't upset about all the contemporary variations of the kilt and how we are "stealing" the traditional meaning of the kilt and reducing it to just another garment alongside the cargo shorts in the closet.

As far as I am concerned, there are TRADITIONAL kilts and then there are these "modern things" we are calling kilts and in my mind they are totally different.
