Off to Work Kilted

[Rigged]

Riverkilt - I like your outfits. They reflect your cultural interests and personal style.

[Hamish]

Ron, you're comparing ... well, not apples and oranges, but different types of apples. True, Hamish pretty much covers British business formal and non-business casual, but for working/outdoor wear in an UK style I would look at Graham's gallery, not Hamish's. It looks to me like you may end up the reference for American outdoors and American business casual.

You certainly have a point there, Wompet.

Ron and I ARE different kinds of guys, in different environments and, indeed, in countries with different standards. Ron is a total free spirit with tattoos and long hair whereas I am much more of a conventional type who comforms (pretty much) to our society's norms. Our dress styles will inevitably reflect this. I greatly admire Ron and his choices of clothing, much of which I could not possibly wear: a) because it would not suit me, and b) because it would not be accepted by the society in which I choose to live! There have been times in later life when I wished I might have had a small tattoo somewhere and, about four years ago, I actually tried to grow my hair rebelliously long - well, it reached my collar! However, I know I could not really be comfortable walking around with 'body art' or modification and I certainly WAS uncomfortable with hair that was just long enough to pull back into a 4" ponytail - as were my friends and neighbours!!
