    I like them, especially the tweeds. I have a saffron kilt and a Hodden Grey one (London Scottish as shown above) they tend to go with a variety of clothes more than some of the tartans around which are too garish for my jaundiced eye, I guess it's a case of less is more. That said I like to see them worn in more of a traditional manner. I think that the original tartans were far more subdued and tweed like, or having a simple sett - suited for camouflage in the heather and the only realistic patterns that could be woven on the type of loom available back in the day with wool dyed with the local flora.

    I draw the line at black kilts and the pinstripe ones though, and the two sophisticates shown wearing flat caps with a headless mutt look like they've just rolled out their beds. If you're going to wear a kilt then make a wee bit of an effort....
