I agree with ya here Jock. If I were to wear a non traditional kilt in front of my family it would not be accepted. But wearing a traditional tartan kilt with sporran and everything is fine because that is just showing respect for my families ancestry. Lucky for me I really only like the traditional style anyway, so it is a non issue for me. Also I really only wear the kilt a few times a year for special occasions. It is not my thing to be a daily kilt wearer but I respect the right of those of you whom choose to do so. My advice is to listen to Jock Scot and go traditional, at least in the beginning.
