Hail, Hail, CMcG,

This is the first thread in our Traditional Forum to go this high (in number of replies) since your thread last summer on defining Traditional Highland Civilian Dress. And just to make sure nobody thinks I am piling on spam here, I will add two additional corollaries concerning "Too Traditional":

1) Anyone who holds an inherited title, especially one tied to ancestral lands, can probably wear what he wants without appearing costumey- unless his ancestral lands are in Orlando, FL and Anaheim, CA, in which case, he probably wants it to look like a costume...

2) A walking staff or stick requires an Ace bandage, an actual cast, a journey of five miles or more, or a full head of grey/ gray hair to keep it from looking affected. You may substitute a scar of 10 inches in length, provided you are prepared to show it.

3 (Special bonus) Any smoking pipe that fits into your pocket either looks affected or , ahem medicinal if you are under 50.
