Re: Kilt and necktie in matching tartan?
I actually think that Andy Stewart and a few others are partly responsible for the kilt not being worn more often during the day. NO, I repeat, NO kilt wearing Scot ever dressed like that for day wear before the TV cottoned on to it and the likes of A.S. bastardised it!
Would the traditional day kilt wearer, before TV, normally wear the shoes that AS is: no!
Would " " " " " " " " hose " " :no!
Would " " " " " " sporran " :no!
Would " " " " " tartan " :no!
Would " " " " " " tartan tie " :no!
Would " " " " buttons on the day Jacket " :no!
Would " " " " " Colour of jacket " : no!
Would " " " " " white shirt to sing " " :no!
The problem is, having been led astray, the rest of the world, including many Scots, now think that this style of day attire and even more unsuitable variations, is what they should model themselves on . It must be so, they think, it is seen that way on TV, film, CD and video.
It does, I am afraid, make me a tad irritated.
