    I chose both, although I don't have a tartan kilt yet. I do have a steady source of income again (which of course translates as kilt fund) though so maybe I'll be able to remedy my lack of tartan kilts soon.

    I only have two kilts right now, and they are both tartan but I think that both are good for different "outfits".

    There's no much more Scots than tweed, and tartan might be neck-and-neck with it. Tartan or solid, tis no problem for me.

    Solid color kilts allow me to wear all those beautiful patterned shirts and vests I have left over from my days of wearing solid color pants.

    Solid color kilts (Like Freedom Kilts dress model, Utilikilts Mocker, USA Kilts solids, solid Amerikilts et.al.) allow me to put together a more business kilt look for work - as opposed to a traditional tartan look.

    I think if kilts are gonna make it to the office they're gonna have to stray from the traditional tartan look. Men who are concerned about wearing a tartan because they have no Scottish blood should have the same comfort option on the job.
