to each there own. I just see that loud hawaiian print every single day, you cant get away from it over here. People even wear it as formal wear over here. its nice to strap on a kilt and separate yourself from that, and know youre the best dressed guy around. Tartans far nicer and meaningful. if you want to go and get a hawaiian print kilt, who am I to tell ya any different. I was just giving my opinion, of course living in hawaii i have little different point of view i suppose
