    Good poll Blu,

    Why would I ever want to limit the type of kilt I choose to wear? Just can't imagine it.

    When I first moved to Arizona I once saw three adjoining fenced fields. Cattle were in one, sheep in another, and the third was planted with cotton ready for harvest.

    That's me, leather, wool, cotton. They all make fine kilts.

    I'm your firm modernist, cant stand any thing above my hips. I dont care what the material is wool, leather,cotton, silk , just stay off my belly!! I am however looking for the "perfect kilt " always.If it fits me the way i like it too, and it is traditional, I might have to change my vote. until then modern!

    I've got both in my closet. Mainly tartans, but some casual and some traditional. My newest kilt is a lovely O'Neille cord kilt that has pockets(distinctly non-traditional), and it's right up at the top of my favourites list, along with my BC tartan wool that Rocky whipped up.

    My next two will be an XMarks dress model in the Macbitseach tartan that Steve says he'll have to me in time for my staff Christmas party. The one after that will hopefully be a Rocker/Indie/Butt Crack model from Mr. Ashton as well.

    I'm with Ron on this. Why would I want to limit myself?

    Dualist. When I started wearing kilts I was a firm modernist, but then I got my first (and sofar only) tartan, and I liked it . Now I'm fighting myself about what kilt to get next, a modern one like a UK or FreedomKilt, or something in a Tartan, arggggg! I'm so confuesed :confused: . Now only if I had the money, I'd get both .

    I only currently have the one non-trad which is the leather one.

    But I certainly have my eye on a couple of modern ones!

    A lot of it depends on what I am going to be doing whether I am modern or traditional.

    Dualist - started non-traditional, got some (more) traditionals.
    I prefer the traditional styling, but for everyday use prefer non-traditional materials ... anyone know where I could get my hands on some tartan canvas on cotton duck? :rolleyes:
