I don't think there's anything wrong with them. I don't wear them personally, but they look fine on others.

One thing I always seem to remember is a line in Thompsons' book about how the kilt is perfectly normal modern wear for anyone who is Scottish, shottish descent or simply enjoys Scottish things.

The point is "modern". Now that we have the kilt right where we want it, should style stop evolving? Or should we have a staunch traditionalist position?

I don't know. The "highlander" shirt isn't 'period' wear. But is it quasi-modern? Should it be put in the contemporary catagory like kilts worn low on the hip, scrunched hose and hiking boots?

I rather stick to what is more traditional, then venture out from there a bit. YMMV.
