I really get what you are saying. You're correct, why must we be stuck in the past? Even with the evolution of highland dress, you can still see people wearing examples of the past, no? Really wish I could bring examples with pictures. But there's still the aspect of dressing "old school" for lack of a better term. Maybe not dressing in '50s TCHD but possibly even '80s?

I'm just trying to point out that even with evolution, there's still shadows of the past. Like those who wear the goathair sporrans on this forum, is that a 30s style? Still looks great in this age, right?
