Too Traditional?

[MacLowlife]

Any daytime, weekend-long festival should suffice as an analog, but that's neither here nor there. I agree with you that there is a traditional standard of dress when kilted at a Highland Games; I'm merely pointing out that it has not changed in a century while the rest of what we think of as appropriate attire for any number of other occasions has (70 years ago, men wore suits to college (American) football games). For me, this has implications on when and where it is appropriate to wear the kilt and leads me to the conclusion that what might not be "too traditional" at a Highland Games may simply be inappropriate on other occasions because "traditional" is not relative to that situation (to tie it all in to the original question). Others will - and do - differ in their opinion.



Too right.

TWEN, I mean, um THIRTY YEARS AGO, I wore a suit to college football games. We all did in those days, and only in part to conceal the flasks.
You just did.
