Too Traditional?

[CMcG]

...

We have all seen, at least in movies, the guy who appears dressed to do something- going fishing, playing golf, shooting, whatever- and he is dressed based on an illustration, not on any actual experience. Everything is brand new and a little too complete. And he looks like a bozo.
...

That is an excellent point MacLl! It does look somehow too traditional to actually be traditional when I see someone wearing the all-too-complete set of brand new gear, head to toe. This especially true of someone whose mannerisms clearly show that they aren't physically used to wearing the kilt either.

Someone with a family history of kilt wearing is more likely to have not only the experience but also the vintage goods to put together more advanced THCD looks with confidence. One can always buy used items to compensate (or in my case, as a necessity for canny, grad-student thrift ), but time between the pleats and aprons cannot be purchased, only earned.
