I know, everyone said I can wear any tartan I want to but I don't want to get into trouble, that's just the sort of person I am.

The Nightstalker is a fashion tartan available only from Stillwater, thus ANYBODY can wear it as it has NO clan affiliation, or a district one for that matter.

You seem awfully worried about getting in trouble for wearing a certain tartan. Relax, very few people will even know what tartan you are wearing. Just know what a tartan represents if you wear it and wear it with honor and pride.

Enjoy the Stillwater kilts. They're a great value and their service is without equal.

You don't need to be Chinese to eat chinese food or Mexican to eat mexican food feel free to wear the Blackwatch tartan or any other Scottish tartans.

As others have said, I wouldn't worry about it too much. While at the 2005 Stone Mountain Highland Games, a vendor from Glasgow enquired about my Blackwatch kilt. He didn't recognize the tartan, nor did he seem to understand it's significance when I told him what it was.

Just get it and wear it. Worry about your first public outing if you must, but not about the kilt so much.

A vendor from Glasgow did not recognize the BW tartan? Was he from Glasgow, KY maybe? Even so, that is amazing!
