I attend a lot of celtic festivals each year and in this area (PA/MD) there are typically at least as many solid kilts as tartan. Amerikilts owns the solid kilt market in this area followed closely by Utilikilts and then the occasional Victory USA Kilt. I think I once even saw a Freedom kilt around here.

I've only seen someone getting hassled about a modern solid kilt once. Last year at the Potomac Celtic Festival, an older Scottish woman completely snapped in front of the Utilikilts booth. She went into a rant about UKs not being kilts and how they are mocking Scotland and need to be banned and put out of business. I've never seen anything like it. She was so angry I thought she was going to attack the workers and everyone trying on kilts. I was told later that she had to be physically restrained and was taken to the medical tent.

Sounds like she had a drinking problem...she either had too much or hadn't had enough.

I need Glenfarclas over here, stat!
