Is this a deal breaker?

For Americans, wearing a clan tartan is mostly a mixture of fun and heritage. I happen to prefer wearing a clan "bonnet badge" as a pin and/or a tie in the clan tartan rather than a kilt.

To wear a specific tartan mostly takes joining additional bodies. Highlander bands in the Shrine and such. I recommend staying active in blue lodge for several years before joining any of the optional additional bodies.

I have 6 kilts. They're the most comfortable piece of clothing I own! While my DNA says I'm Irish, I couldn't tell you what clan I belong to. But I wear Flower of Scotland, that was the tartan of the Shrine band I played with, and I have a Black Watch, which always sexy. I know a lot of Masons that wear Sinclair because of the connection. And there are dozens of national or non-clan tartans Masons can wear regardless of any Celtic dna. My next kilt will likely be in the registered Freemasonry tartan.

As I've noted before, if it is ever a problem I can just wear pants like everyone else.

But I wanted the lodge members to see and know who they voting on. So Ive worn kilts the entire time I've been in consideration.

If there is no problem, I will continue to wear them as it is my preference.

I wear pants at work and for certain activities because it is required or expected. If I am not under any requirement, than I choose to wear a kilt.

There is a long history with the Black Watch Regiment and the tartan. There is also a bit of controversy over the tartan. But Masons are no strangers to controversy right? The background is all black. With dark blue and green.https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe.../200px-Black_Watch_or_Campbell_tartan.svg.png

Joseph, we had a member join us for dinner last meeting straight from the airport - first time I've ever seen him *not* wearing a kilt :)

Have we derailed this thread enough? Maybe we ought to begin a new thread about Freemasonry, Kilts, and Tartans?

When the investigation committee came to my house, I had just gotten off work and was still in my work uniform. I inveted them inside and confessed, you now know my most embarrassing secret. I actually DO own pants. :D
