Did you make the Navy digital camo? If so where did you find the fabric....I am stil active duty, and can see an opportunity to aggravate some fairly stuffy officers...

You can get camo fabric from Rockywoods.

I have noticed the same thing. I get comments from the tartan kilts but few from contemporary kilts. I assume this has to do with people's expectations. They recognize the tartan kilt and many can relate to it in some way. Take away the tartan and they are not sure what your have on. Of my contemporary kilts the box pleat Alphakilt has received the most comments. Zero comments from my denim or leather Kilt.

I don't have any 'contemporary' kilts, but I think this is a pretty accurate assessment.

To stay on the topic, I have noticed the same thing while wearing Black Watch after dark at the zoo during the "Lights before Christmas" event. Since the majority of the lighting is in the trees, ground level was fairly dark and I'm sure that the tartan was nearly all black to those who did see me.

My Edzell might have been a better choice as it is a lighter color than either Black Watch or National Fallen Firefighter Foundation (NFFF) tartans. for reference, NFFF is black based while Rocky's (USA Kilts) Firefighters Memorial is red based.

Only two gents approached me about my kilt; both were interested as to where I had purchased it.

Neither do I...and I had to make a stop yesterday to pick up a couple last minute items on the way to the family gathering while wearing my tartan kilt (Macdonell of Keppoch), and though the store was jam packed with people, and the stares were obvious, not one comment made.

Some were obviously quite uncomfortable standing near a kilted gentleman too....go figure!

A few weeks ago, while Christmas shopping, I was at a mall on the way back home from Ikea, and it seems most of the reactions were at a distance. I was in my OD Green UK Original, and probably a dozen times, I noticed a little kid point at me, and ask their parent (usually boys and their dads) something, presumably "why's he in a skirt?"
