    A kilt is very comfortable, so why not be comfortable as one is crossing over? It only makes sense.

    Honor and the kilt

    Wearing a kilt (perhaps, of a particular tartan) is one of the ways to honor another person. I hope to get a hunting MacLean to honor my wife. She already has a Farquarhson kilted skirt to honor me.
    Not many people, today, seem to understand that we can honor others and events by how we dress. I guess, I grew up in another age where what you wore indicated your regard for others or an event.

    Honor and the Kilt

    Another interesting point. you can wear a specific kilt which holds special meaning based on the Tartan or design. This would be a tartan which Is not particular to your clan? I have a few friends Who own the USMC tartan kilts and plan on wearing them on thursday for the Marine Corps Birthday. Honoring a Relation or aquaintance by wearing their Tartan is a great tribute.
    As my friend sewed his fathers ashes to the wind on Sunday, the wind blew some back upon his Kilt. He said will never have the kilt cleaned because it now has a part of his father in the weave. Now there is a kilt with some special meaning.....
