New traditions are being created from older Celtic ones and that's surely a good sign.
I totally agree with this statement.

Just to push the point: the traditional kind of trousers for (also) Norwegian teen-agers is blue-jeans, made popular by the import of Levi's some decades ago. Blue jeans is by many considered traditional work clothes.
The USA is through Levi's and other similar companies regarded as the home/origin of the mentioned garment.

I don't think there are any issues about non-Americans wearing the aforementioned garment.

Who has a right to claim a garment design can not be adopted in other places than its place of origin?

Today, blue jeans are as Norwegian as American in my country.

I just wonder...
