To further the study a little bit. I own both tartan and contemporary styled self colour kilts. I am deeply encouraged to dress as much as practical in the "traditional" manner. When so attired, the family and friends really warm up to being with me. The Amerikilt, Utilikilt, do not get that much excitement from the family. The contemporary kilts are the only ones that have ever gotten the "skirt" comment. Both sons have kilts and wear them as do both of my nephews. Two grandsons wear the kilt and one does not. One greatgrandson has a kilt, and his mother puts it on him regularly, he should grow up used to it as both of my sons always had kilts in their wardrobes.
