A Good Kilt for Native Americans?

[Ayin McFye]

And now a word from your local Scottish traditionalist.

This is all fine and good for wearing about and all that, but if I may ask everyone not to make the mistake of calling it a tartan, because it is not. If you like to spin off and insult your heritage and mine that is your decision, but you can't expect me to approve of it if we were to meet in public.

Just to be clear I don't agree with trying to mix two cultures immediatley, it comes out looking a little silly.

I am also a descendant of the Lakota nation.

Everyone is absolutely entitled to their opinion, but I think it'd be best to not take this so personally and get upset. I do not feel at all the by having a native american "kilt" that it in any way insults either culture. I'm sure many of us have Native American blood in us at some point, and we are all not getting offended. I personally have Cherokee in me.

If anything I think this honors both heritages, not insult.

Be sure to look at the several tartans I posted that have Native American connections. If one wanted to follow a more "traditional" way to honour Native American and Scottish heritages, these might just be the ticket.

I'd wear the kilt happily. The kiltmaker in me wants to see how the pleats were done, and now I'll have to get some similar material and tinker a bit.

I agree with some others that it'd work much better with a simple brown sporran, certainly with antler fixtures and a brown belt. Brown kilt belt with brass buckle.

Yeah..I'd wear that in a heartbeat.
