Wearing Formal Attire

No it's a SWK Standard. It's just not a heavy-weight wool or wool-like kilt. So by day-wear I mean more daily wear.

Your clan tartan is completely appropriate for formal events. If you have seen universal tartans at formal events it is most likely because they were rentals, that are normally available in only a few, mostly universal, tartans.

Now, you will get many opinions as to whether a SWK Standard is acceptable for formalwear, but if you plan to get a 8 yd wool kilt, I would get your clan tartan, unless you don't like your clan tartan.

Nope. Love the clan tartan, I just don't need two kilts of one tartan.

There is always the district tartan option, and your state, Colorado, does have its own tartan.

That being said, there is no reason why someone can't own more than one kilt in the same tartan -- and there are always options, such as ancient/weathered/muted colours.

Why? Like Buckskin and The Barry have pointed out, you have your choice of more than twenty clan-associated tartans.

One would think that you would want to wear MacDonald, but if not... well how about clergy tartan?
