The economic conditions in Scotland and more especially in the USA have improved, and many here consider emulating traditional dress. There are those who'd prefer that we emulate current traditions in highland dress, and those who are fond of the more elaborate possibilities shown in these illustrations. I see no harm in keeping the more elaborate styles in vogue as well as the simpler fare.
I myself occasionally opt for a much more rustic style (my own imagination), where I adapt Salvation Army or other recycled clothes that may be not be perfectly sized. I've some knitted vests my Mom made for me 40 years ago that are a bit short, but are perfect for kilt atire. It works for me.
