Piobair,
Soooo....scince I have worn hose tops with spats and a button up shirt and vest..I guess that what you are saying is that Im not a very good piper then...I have worn them because I think they look sharp, AND I think they go well with what I have had on, I have also worn them with a police style dark blue shirt, and they looked sharp there too. Guess what, Im not in the miiltary, so I don't have to go by their regulations, now I actually do not wear them anymore because I feel they dont go with my new kilt (before they were worn with my BW tank), but I dont see any reason to start stating that any piper who would wear such as a thing probablly isn't a very good piper....I do take offense to that.
