    Exactly!

    no never mind

    I started with a Celtic Craft Centre traditional. Now I own and wear Freedom Kilt(s) both tartan and camo, a couple of UKs, a USA semi, a couple of Stillwaters, a Gold Bros, an AK, 3 more traditionals and on and on. Where I wear the unit, the type and color or tartan of the kilt depends on the mood, the use and more importantly the occasion. Whether you start with comtemporary or traditional makes "no never mind" as long as the wearer is comfortable.

    As they say, "your mileage may vary!!"

    I think the problem with this particular poll is that the topic is far too broad.

    While there is only one Traditional Kilt the other side of the coin is very diverse.
    I guess this problem with my question shows how new I am to the whole kilt thing.
