After a bit of introspection, I decided to post a graphic of the tartan in question. It's a Menzies tartan. And since they have a dozen or so to choose from (several are quite handsome), perhaps none of them & their ilk will take too much offense for me to call this one ugly. The dominant color is called 'mauve'. At best, I'd describe it as non-masculine.

Here 'tis. What man with red blood coursing through his veins would wear a kilt sewn from this? Sure as hell not this bubba.
