    Some great points being made here. Just a couple of points to clarify:

    1) Stating whether or not you'd wear tartan or diced hose with day wear (tweeds) does not answer my question which is whether you think that choice is traditional or whether it has become historical. Those are two very different questions. I think some people wear them and look smashing. Again, what I'm trying to determine is whether they're acting in accordance with accepted traditional Highland conventions when they do so or whether they are making an idiosyncratic, eccentric, theatrical or indeed, historical sartorial choice.

    2) Hose with a pattered top cuff are irrelevant to the thread. They have a long history among sportsman and are worn with country wear by kilted and non-kilted gentlemen alike. I like them and wear them but they have absolutely nothing to do with this discussion.
