Courtmount, after having read dozens of your didactic and uncompromising posts about what is and is not proper Highland wear, I think we would all like to see some photographic evidence of your own sartorial splendor.
I second that notion.

On a related topic....

I no longer post in the "Traditional Wear" forum. I don't even read it. I stay out because I know that I will only get angry and upset at the opinions and attitudes expressed there. The men and women who post there are absolutely entitled to their opinions. You bet. But I know that in some cases those opinions will aggravate and annoy me. In light of my own peace of mind as well as the enjoyment of the forum by myself and others, I simply don't view the forum at all.

Why some people cannot do the same for this forum, is beyond me.

And on yet ANOTHER related topic....

I am bemused at the fact that the overwhelming majority of the posts in this thread, which is in the contemporary kilt forum, in fact have to do with tartan kilts. "It's as if "Contemporary Kilt Wear" has changed from meaning a Utilikilt or Freedom Kilt or Alphakilt, to meaning "wearing a traditional kilt in a different-from-traditional manner."

We discuss whether it's proper to wear a hat, and precisely what kind of hat, with your 8-yard kilt, here. Sure, there are posts which are exceptions to this. There is a post about Howie's contemporary kilts. There's one picture of a Utilikilt. But the OVERWHELMING majority of discussion is about "slightly non-traditional ways to wear a traditional kilt."

This is a significant change from the climate in X Marks from, say two years ago.
