traditional vs. classic

[Jock Scot]

This thread has got me thinking and some how I think things are made far too complicated these days. M o R gives a fine example of simplicity with his Oban story! I am not sure all the labels are necessary, in some ways it shows insecurity, or maybe a lack of confidence to be wearing something that you can't put a label on, or compartmentalise.This is a very modern way of doing things and whilst many are strongly objecting about "conforming", in fact, that is just what they are doing!

To my mind there is little difference between "traditional" and "classic" kilt attire. Don't forget in the UK, two hundred years is hardly regarded as old.There is a most definitely a "modern" and certainly a "historical" slant on kilt attire such as a great kilt , which is only seen(rarely thank goodness) being worn in this part of the world by the theatrical crowd or a tourist.
