Do these non-tartan kilts tick you off?

First let me begin by stating that Mr. Newsome you are someone I truly respect. I have to take time to really reflect now upon what I said. To answer your question no these listed pictures I do not take offense to. I was refering to others. I am trying to watch how I word things because I know I am walking on a thin line here. The kilts and prints I was refering to is the utility kilts with cargo pockets in a veriety of colors. I believe I mentioned the one sold at Hot Topic as well.

You need to be very careful in painting with broad strokes as you are. Condemning anything other than wearing a kilt in your own bonifide clan tartan while calling on "tradition" to back your opinion is not justifiable. There is a lot more in the realm of traditional Scottish attire than clan tartans.

I hoestly did not bring up tradition. I know that family tartans in the history of kilts are somewhat recent. I also know some of the history of the kilt as I have visited your site and blog often . I also know what would happen if a Campbell was wearing Robertson Red and walked by a Clan Donnachaidh tent at a highland game. That being said let me appoligize to you and some of the others here for my wording (not my stance). I meant to open this thread for debate not act like I was bashing anyones choices.
