For six months and more I've been sitting here wondering about the same thing but not saying it (is that a cultural thing, Jock?) In another thread we were asked to list the tartans we liked. I listed the tartans I wore as kilts day after day after day and realised that, after it was posted, the question didn't relate to culture, but to fashion. I thik I wasn't being asked what I wear, but what I liked.

I have been wearing a kilt since early school days and so have worn the school tartan, a couple I have inherited, and those with which I am closely connected by blood (you will understand when I say these are Mackintosh, Shaw, Macpherson and Davidson because, I think, you live not too "farr" from me).

Until finding and joining XMTS it never crossed my mind to wear anything other than my families' tartans (with some inherited exceptions).

But you and I must recognise "root-finding" and "pure comfort" as two separate but pimary objectives here.

Does that makes sense?
