Is it clever or a needless? Convertable Plaid

[Calgacus]

I grant you its a free world that most of us here live in, so freedom of choice is an important issue to us within those fortunate boundaries. As such, I have absolutely no issues with those that make these non earth shattering choices like the one we are discussing here.

However and speaking personally and I hasten to add, as requested by the OP, then for daily highland attire the outfit in question, is most definately theatrical and not in the least bit historical------- "Doc Martin" boots for one and a faux great kilt for a second-----so the cringe factor is there loud and clear. How can people-------particularly those that know nothing about "modern" and socially acceptable(sorry thats not quite what I mean, but words fail me at the moment)kilt attire ever understand Highland attire worn in "normal" day to day society. It gives a false impression to those that might and many certainly do think, that this sort of attire is "how its really done".

I absolutely take your point, and agree with it. It's not something I'd wear in the street as daywear, let's put it that way.
