I told him I was wearing the Stewart Hunting (ancient) tartan as can be seen in my avatar. I think it goes beautifully with my green PC.
He promptly told me that I was improperly dressed. That one only wears a dress tartan with a Prince Charlie. I always though any kilt could be dressed up or down depending on the accessories one wore. Did I commit a dastardly sin?
This guy was wrong. If he can't recognize your sett, what's he doing telling you how to dress? A PC goes with any tartan at any time.
