I've always wanted a kilt but I didn't know which tartan was appropriate and found the cost to be prohibitive.

Then a few years ago the local news station did a bit on Amerikilts (Don Polec for you Philly Pholk). Now here was a company that made relatively inexpensive kilts and they weren't tartan! It took me a little while while longer to screw up the courage to buy one and wear it (this March as a matter of fact).

Since then I've done more research, found & joined you guys and have ordered a SW blackwatch.

Do I prefer one over the other? No. I will probably get a few more solids either AK's or PK's and am now on the lookout for a kilt in the MacGregor tartan that is in the same price neighborhood.
