@ John:
I intend to do it with my own tartan as I have some extra length, though I didn't find the time yet. When I made those above my own was not yet delivered.
But there are still the silk/textile bluebells on my mind. If someone knows of a source (preferably in the EU) please let me know.

Alright, I have to say it and I will say nothing more on this thread. With the greatest of respect this is where I and some other Scots start to have problems with this attitude of "I know I am breaking the Scottish social niceties when wearing the kilt and I am still going to ignore it".In my view if you are going to wear Scottish attire that has considerable historical and national meanings and then proceed to ignore the bits that are inconvenient to you (ignorance I can understand and tolerate) just puts the whole thing in to costume class and the "playing at being a Scot" catigory and does cause offence however hard you to try to say otherwise, and frankly I would much prefer if you chose to wear anything but the kilt and glengarry. I accept it is your choice to do as you please, but can I ask you to reconsider?
