    I have to say I am wrestling with some people's version of what they consider constitutes a kilt and most certainly I find it extremely hard to grasp the idea of people wearing more than one(prehaps two--- clan and regimental for example)tartan.Still,each to their own.

    So what am I? Old fashioned?Yes. A traditionalist?Yes. Out of touch?Probably. A snob?I very much hope not.
    See I new I wasn't alone!

    Actually I have decided that if this viewpoint makes me a snob then fine.I have actually tried a couple of the off-the-rack-kilts but they rarely ever get worn. Sometimes they get put on just so I can say I did. Personally I prefer my GT and House of Edgar kilts although I also have a couple of handsewn ones from kiltmakers here in the states and I have been very pleased with them.

    Jock I do own more than a few kilts, but that is primarily because I wear them for some of the work I do. However they are all either family or District tartans that I have a connection with.

    I own four - MacMillan, Royal Stewart, Fraser, and Gordon. I wear them in the winter time, or for special events.
