Too Traditional?

[Bugbear]

I would rather suffer unsolicited criticism for wearing traditional headgear without a jacket under the summer sun than suffer blisters on my barren pate. ith:

You are taking the kilt out of it's native environment, so sometimes "traditional" isn't going to be possible. I think the issue that rubs the wrong way, might be then calling the adaptation "traditional." It comes across as telling the Scots how they should dress or something along that line, as best as I can tell.

There's a fine line being walked, though, because the Highland Games and Scottish events over here in the US are also out of their native environment and sometimes open to the "unwashed American public."
