    Here in Japan, Burberry is as popular as ever... Not as much as Louis Vuitton, but still. Expect to pay quite a bit for the privilege of wearing it.

    I'm sure that if I ever got me a Thomson Camel kilt, it would be all the rage! :-) (It's one of my favorite tartans)

    Well, now that you know the difference between the two. look around and you will be surprised at how many people are wearing the Thompson Camel and think (and perhaps paid the premium price for) Burberry.
    It's actually kind of funny seeing it. You can laugh behind your hand at the gullible ones.

    I wear the kilt because:
    Swish + Swagger = Swoon.

    I agree with Phil. I quite like the Thompson Camel as a tartan but I wouldn't EVER wear a kilt in it as unfortunately it now screams 'chav' over here. Burberry or anything similar is worn as a badge by the mildly delinquent to identify themselves to each other. Shame really. Thompson Camel is still a nice tartan and would probably make a very nice kilt. Oh well, I guess I'll never know!

    By the way, browsing the Register (as you do) that Thompson Black is quite nice too...
