I am yet to purchase my first kilt. I am leaning towards the black shdow tartan from SWK but will probably go for their standard kilt in Black Watch tartan to see if this is indeed part of my lifestyle. I do like the pattern so this will not be a compromise. I do not have a family tartan and have read several times that Black Watch is open to all. My question is; since this is a regimental tartan (I have never served), what right do I actually have to wear it? Is it not an insult to those who served and fought with these regiments? Also for those you do wear this tartan do you ever get asked or even hassled reguarding the tartan?
Thank you,
Grant
