Too Traditional?

[artificer]

In my efforts to be more traditional over the years, I have made an effort to be less concerned about matching. Well, I'm now getting a remark or two each kilted outing about not matching to my growing annoyance. Perhaps for Americans, not being "too traditional" is to avoid not matching.

Why do you allow yourself to get annoyed? Just ignore them.

I had the same thing happen last year at one of the local games by the woman selling admissions. I had on a tattersall shirt (2-tone blue on white) my unofficial X-marks tie (blue and yellow regimental stripe) and my kilt.
Her exact comment was (please read with a very nasal Wisconsin accent) "Boy, you sure do have a lot of patterns on!". I said "yes, thank you, I do" took my ticket and was off.
