So whether we like it or not the Ghillie shirt should be an acceptable form of dress.
No, I don't think tradition works that way. First of all, those shirts haven't been worn with the kilt long enough and second, a bunch of guys on an internet forum that connects very disparate places don't get to somehow decide what is going to be "added" to the traditions of Highland attire.

That being said, there are no Kilt Kops and if you like to wear a ghillie shirt, then do it; it is an acceptable form of dress. We could probably debate all day long where and when would be the best time to wear one, but that is a question of taste, not a categorical one.

I need to ask though, why does it have to be traditional? It isn't traditional. Full stop. If one still likes those shirts despite them not being traditional, then go for it! Go ahead and put together an outfit that is dashing, with a healthy amount of historical theatricality or even just wear it casually.

If one wants to dress traditionally, however, then give the ghillie shirt a miss.
