Kilt appearance on "MacGyver" (by Henry Ian Cusick)

[Jock Scot]

Monochrome, a style that truely lacks any real substance, Scottish or otherwise.

One of my favorite quotes from the old "Scottish Clans and Their Tartans" is "... deprive the garb of its ornaments or reduce it to the drab monotony of Anglo-Saxon evening clothes are un-Scottish and*contemptible".

Multiple colours, the glint of shinny metal, textures of fur, hair or leather.

These are the things that set the Highland dress apart. It's best kept that way.

Agreed. Although, there is a fine line between “good taste” and “brash caricatures”. It is difficult for some , particularly those new to kilt attire, to steer clear of that oh so critical and significant fine line.

For example, many newcomers to the world of the kilt find it difficult to differentiate between pipe band attire and civilian kilt attire. Another example, is the lack of understanding that aspects of the kilt hire industry do not follow traditional kilt attire thinking.
