    What would the Victorians think?

    Alright, imagine that I ,somehow, went back to, say 1890 wearing what I am wearing in my oft used( I must get a few more new ones) picture. Would I slide into the accepted mode of dress of the time, or, would I be picked out as some "modern type" who really ought to know better? For sure I would be criticized for not wearing a bonnet of some sort and of course we all know that flat caps worn with the kilt were in fashion in those days. I think a deer stalker for me, although my balmoral would not look out of place. My style of shirt collar might raise an eyebrow too, as might the hue of my kilt.

    Observations please?
