Kilted Self-esteem

[Riverkilt]

Reading the Halloween thread it came to me that I seem to feel different when I'm wearing different kilts.

When I'm wearing a tartan that is significant to me, a clan tartan of my blood, or a military tartan, I seem to stand a bit taller, feel a bit more pride, be a bit more ready to answer questions about the tartan than I am when I'm wearing a fashion tartan or a clan tartan that I like, but isn't a tartan of my blood - or than when wearing a solid color tartan or a camo print kilt.

Though I do feel that pride a bit more in my tiger stripe AK kilt than I do the sort of generic woodland camo UK.

Its sort of a jazzy, juicy feeling to kilt up in a meaningful tartan. Sometimes I find myself picking my kilt for the day based on how I feel wearing that tartan.

Not sure I'm communicating the concept correctly, but guessing I'm not alone??
