As it does to me. Additionally, it's a very nice-looking tartan, made into a very nice-looking kilt, paired with nice-looking accessories.

My understanding, though, and the key to the distinction, if I have it correct, is that Steve doesn't feel compelled to "comply" with any sort of "prescribed rules" when wearing his kilt in this manner. He may be informed by traditional practices, but he isn't constrained by these practices. He dresses in the way he thinks best. Hence, he chose to post in the Modern Kilt wear sub-forum. Easy enough.

I recently started a thread about my new Barb Tewksbury kilt. Because I choose to wear my kilt in accordance with what I understand to be traditional norms, I chose to post it in the Traditional Highland Dress sub-forum. Easy enough.

That's what makes XMarks such a great place. You get to make the call...
