So, what I think I get from all of your great responses is that there is some thought that combining periods (old/modern) styles is sort of a no-no or at least somewhat frowned upon.

On the the hand, there seems to be some thought that you can do as you please.

I guess what I am talking about is wearing the kilt to more formal, non-Scottish events, like say a party or a graduation from the men's initiations I am involved in. I think in that case it looks like wearing it on the pocket may work and not be too off base (heaven knows most if not all in attendance would never know it was not proper)....but to where to a Scottish event the mixing is sounding a bit improper.

Do I have that right?
