Nonetheless he found cause to cavil at the way I wore my kilt – he dislikes its rise, and tells me he has never seen a kilt worn that way in Scotland.
When I tried to tell him he had probably seen men (and boys) wearing jackets and waistcoats buttoned up, so covering the top end of the kilt, he refused to listen.
He searched the internet and came across a photograph of a Ren Faire re-enactor wearing a kilt fitted at the hips and a gillie shirt, holding a double-handed sword.
The feet and lower legs were unclear, but it looked as though he was wearing rawhide shoes and cadadh.
That, he said, was how the kilt ought to be worn!
What could I say?

He's know best, right?
