Absurd kilt myths

[Nighthawk]

That is just such an amusing encounter Arlen. My single colour, denim or camo kilts have never attracted any comments like this. On the contrary, I find they attract a lot less attention than tartan kilts.

Yeah, I've had that same experience. When I wear my tartan kilts, people ask me if I'm Scottish. (Of course, the answer is "only partly, but born in the US.") When I wear my AmeriKilt, I get bugged by goth and emo kids wanting to know where I got it. Otherwise, no one really comments on the modern solid ones. It's odd- I'd think the new ones would be more confusing and attract more curiosity.

And on topic- I've been told that I shouldn't even wear a kilt at all because my grandfather is English. My grandmother on my dads side was a Scot, and my mother is Irish, but because my father is not the Scottish part of me, I shouldn't wear a kilt at all. Something about not being allowed to wear the tartan from the feminine side of the family.

That would be sad. It would mean I'd have to give up my Marjoribanks kilt which, although I'm prejudiced, I think is one of the best looking tartans available.

Watch out for the Kilt Kops... And lucky you... My clan tartan is, I think, one of the uglier ones. However, the few Scottish Wolfe's there are have a lot of good things, so I'll wear that butt ugly tartan with pride.
