    I see that a few are also wearing a belt and a waistcoat without a dirk. When will this insanity end!

    (Actually, I miswrote because I meant a metal cantle combined with a fur sporran.)

    Didn't Jefferson say something about it being incumbant upon us to test the usefulness, and veracity of a "law" by breaking it?

    I believe that Jock made a very good point many moons ago, something to the extent of, with a thorough knowledge of what is and is not appropriate one can blur the lines a bit and get away with it!

    Silver by day, Brass or gold at night..pewter, maybe just right!

    Of course dirks aren't worn with day wear.

    Even fur sporrans for day dress can have metal cantles. The late Duke of Argyll favoured a sporran of fur with a metal cantle.

    I know. My point was that the chiefs are wearing belts with waistcoats, which is not proper; meaning, are the chiefs necessarily a bellweather for fashion?

    Regardless of my prior point, I'm quite frankly happy to concede that a sporran with metal cantle and fur can be worn during the day. It broadens my wardrobe! (But, not all seem appropriate.)
