Contemporary vs Traditional

[Panache]

I don't think I voted

And frankly my answer wouldn't fit in either

I have one of Steve Ashton's Freedom Kilts in the Tartan Model and it is everything I could want from a kilt.

It has the crisp pleats, the 13 oz. traditional wool tartan, and it fits like a glove...



But Steve has made some internal differences that make his kilts somewhat stronger than a traditional one.




And he uses machine stitching!




And it has three hidden pockets!

So my choice would be for a traditional looking kilt (with all the accroutements) but with a Modern design philosophy.

The best of both worlds!

Cheers

I've noticed that some posters here are equating a solid coloured kilt with contemporary. That really isn't true as traditional kilts can be solid-coloured. (Saffron, Hodden Grey, etc...)
