Origin and Use of "Dress" Tartans

[davidlpope]

You really, REALLY, ought to know your tartans and your categories better before you make such a silly statement.

Category #3 includes quite a few men. In fact the current world champion highland dancer is a MAN. And, almost to a man, the men of the dance world wear dress tartans.

I'm sorry this appears silly to you, but I have never seen a man wearing a kilt in a dancer's dress tartan, but maybe I'm missing something. I don't know of any mills that provide these tartans in heavyweight fabric designed to be made into mens' kilts. Can you provide pics of men wearing a dancer's dress tartan in a non-dance setting? I'm always eager to have my misconceptions shattered...

Cordially,

David
