While I have and enjoy both solid and tartan, I doubt that I will get any more solid kilts. In my neck of the woods, solid kilts are not recognized as such. I have never been out in one of my solid kilts without a derogatory skirt comment. It gets old after a while. No one seems to mistake a tartan kilt for anything but a kilt. I haven't had a tartan kilt for very long but I have yet to receive a negative comment while wearing it. I still wear both but all kilts on my wish list are tartan.
