I purchased an AmeriKilt last summer, because I always wanted a kilt, but didn't like the prices for traditional. The AK was in my price range, and let me find out for myself if being a Kiltee was right for me, turns out it is.

When I purchased my kilt I was not aware of any Scottish ancestry, all of my ancestors (that I knew of) had English names. I found out yesterday that I do have some Scottish ties through a maternal gggggg-grandmother (Fleming, aligned with Murray of Atholl), so now I am looking at a traditional tank in an Ancient Murray of Atholl tartan.

That's my reason for a non-traditional kilt.
