I gotta vent a little...

I get about the same reaction to my black AK as I do to my trad kilts. There are people who just don't like "plaid" and would wear a solid kilt- they just don't know that the things exist.

My wife wants me to get something non tartan. Other than the leather kilt I plan to buy this sumer she may not get her wish. I am not a fan of solid color Kilts. Utilikilts and Amrikilts looks nice and are well made, I even want to buy a survival utilikilt someday, but I like the tartan look better. Just preference.
I think utilikilt pushes for the change a lit and are clearly masculine and at the same time they are a far removed from traditional Scottish style as you can get and still use the name Kilt successfully. I think they do the best push for MUG's to be accepted. Obviously crossdressers to the worst harm to MUG's being accepted in the culture.

I agree. My AK gets very little use as anything other than something I wear around the house. It does look really good with a white dress shirt and tie, though, I do have to say.
