Dress codes and changing trends

[Elf]

Last year at the Chicago games / festival, an "updated" 3rd Revised copy of "So You're Going To Wear The Kilt was purchased."

Copyright 1989, the 24 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO mention of solid colour, cotton canvas, cargo, leather, university, branch of service, national kilts. Or Irish or Welsh.

NO mention of kilting without minimally a wool sweater, let alone shirtsleeves, polos, tees. Only one illustration in the whole book without a necktie.

In this opinion, the book is sorely in need of an update, or someone else should do a new "bible." Better still, several someones, from several points of origin and view.

Not EVERYTHING should be seen and read on the internet.

This observer's metaphorical tuppence worth.

Yes, I agree this book still has value as the traditional view. I have for a while however thought a supplemental view was in order for the very informal end of the spectrum. Starting with utility kilts, casual kilts, through all the things you've mentioned. Unfortunately I feel very ill equipped technically to produce this guide, as well as unqualified. Still the challenge is worthy of fulfillment. I think there is enough photo material on this forum and then some.
