It strikes me Jock that 'traditional" is a poor word to convey the style of highland wear you and others advocate.

"Traditional" can mean a great kilt (very old tradition)

"Traditional": can mean a PC and white hose (very modern tradition)

I think we need a new word.

A way to define the style of highland wear that flourished between World War I and World War II.

I can think of no better description than "Classic"

"Classic" is not old fashioned, yet it is not modern.

"Classic" is timeless

"Classic" never goes out of style (Think for a minute of Humphrey Boggart in his trench coat in Casablanca, Sean Connery in Goldfinger, and Cary Grant in...well anything. They looked darn good then, and they would look darn good today! )

I think that if we can make a small shift in our thinking here on XMTS we would end this silly problem.

Question: Can I wear white hose with my Prince Charlie Coatee?

Jock: Well you can, people do nowadays. However the classic look is to wear diced or argyll hose. It just is the way that i have always done it and it always looks right.

What say you Jock?

Cheers
