Personally? I love it! I like the way the tartan is trimmed. But then, I'm a bit of a non traditionalist. My wife puts up with it (she's a traditionalist) my dad loves it (he also, oddly, is a traditionalist) and my mom (also a traditionalist) hates it! Modern kilts=bad to my mom. So I would love to have that, if it were my size. Ah well- such is life.
