So let me see if I understand- the fact that I own several contemporary kilts means that I'm just too cheap or don't have the pride to buy a traditional 16oz 8 yarder? First off- I AM NOT SCOTTISH!! I am an American who happens to have Scots- Irish heritage. Given that fact, I am damned proud of that fact that I can wear a USA Kit or an Amerikilt. I am as proud to be an American as I am to be a Celt. You are seeing things from one perspective, and one perspective only. I actually have a traditional kilt on order. And in truth, that's still open to debate- it's in the Colorado State tartan, and not my family tartan. I am a Rocky Mountain native. This is my home- not the country of my grandparents. That was their home. So before you post more threads that sound condescending, do please keep in mind that your point of view is not the only correct one. The Amerikilt, R Kilt, USA Kilt, Stillwater Kilt, or SportKilt wearer is supporting the local boys- the home team. And we will continue to do so with pride.
