How Should an American Choose a Tartan to Wear?

We were asked: “How do you choose the tartan pattern and color? Isn't the clan badge and crest a requisite? I would think there are rules attached to the wearing of a clan’s uniform.”

Pretty classic query. While most gents will consider a clan tartan first when purchasing a kilt, there is nothing that says you must limit yourself to your clan tartan. In fact, this convention has been waning for years in Scotland. It is more common for Americans to be concerned about perceived rules about clan tartan and other symbols. Rocky discuses why this sem to be the case.
