I now have to come to terms with that and promise that hereafter I shall lead my life according to his teachings. Thank you so much for leading a Scottish ingenue into the true ways of kilt-wearing.
I truly meant no offense, I was simply stating my only source for the wearing of tartan hose with morning dress. I understand that there are other ways of doing things and truly value your opinion (especially considering your Scottish upbringing, which I quite obviously lack). From your comment about kilt-wearing not being the norm where this gentleman was brought up, I felt very much like I was in the same boat as him and was, perhaps, a bit hasty in defending his choices.
