Scotland-America Tartan to Celebrate 250 Years of Cultural Ties

[User]

Just a kind observation, which may give you some food for thought. I hope that you will not take unkindly with what I have to suggest.

Instead of filling your wardrobe with assorted tartans and attire, why not have the one tartan that you really want, avoid a wardrobe of sundries and just have the correct gear that fits your needs and then, ........... Have the tartan that you really desire to be woven and in passing, will save you money in the long term and make more wardrobe space as well.


It's what I and many Scots happily do.

To be fair, this is a forum for people who are enthusiastic enough about kilts to spend their time reading and posting about them. It's not surprising that those with such interest have a stronger desire to own multiple kilts than the average Scot, who was born into the culture and may or may not care for them.

Also, this is just a musing and may be completely wrong, but it seems that in Scotland owning multiple kilts may raise the question among those around you "WHY do you own multiple kilts?"
In America, as soon as a person buys ONE kilt, they've already become "the guy with the kilt", so whether you own one or ten, it doesn't change others' perception of you much.

I don't own only one pair of jeans, slacks, or dress shirts, and I'm not strongly attached to any of them. But I do enjoy kilts, so I'd like to acquire more as finances permit.
