Here it comes, Kyle. You ready for it?

I find it oddly humorous, and not a little ironic, that guys who wear kilts would intentionally want to look like everyone else. Highland attire, unlike Saxon attire, offers wonderful opportunities for individualism while still fitting in with the conventions or dress codes. Wearing a particular style of jacket solely for the purpose of looking like everyone else seems to be an attempt to inject Saxon dress mentality into an area where it doesn't belong.
If I had the choice between wearing a PC to match the other 98% of guests, or wearing a black Argyll and still meeting the expected level of dress, guess which one I'd choose.
