This and the previous thread on the same subject about the consensus being that Scots don't care about their kilt makes me sad. Why this cultural cringe? I thought New Zealand had exclusive rights to cultural cringe. Maybe when The Vote is taken some will drag out their moth-eaten garb and wear it either to rejoice or to mourn.

Let's be very, very careful that we don't edge into politics or other discord here lest this thread be shut down soon.

Maybe the cultural cringe results from feeling that the garment has become a stereotype. Perhaps there is an American analog: When I first visited my new in-laws in Taiwan, some 25 years ago, a few of them actually expressed surprise that I didn't wear cowboy boots and hat.
For the record, my footwear of choice at the time was the Doc Martens 8-eyelet boot. People I met on the street tended to assume I was German. :-)
