    If you'd rather that we all reserve the kilt for special occasions because that's your preferred custom, then you are - of course - welcome to hold that preference. But it is hardly the basis to take offense or express your indignation when someone else prefers to adapt the kilt to a broader purpose. With great respect for what's happened in the past, I don't live there anymore.
    Abax:

    I can't speak for Chef, but I can speak for myself. I would never hold anyone but myself accountable to my standards regarding Highland attire. What I object to is the assumption that because many Scots choose not to wear the kilt on a casual, day-to-day basis, they are somehow abandoning the kilt and Highland attire. Like many Scots, I choose to wear the kilt for certain functions -- but I hold only myself to that standard. I certainly respect those who wear a kilt on a daily basis -- all I ask is for that respect to be returned.

    Regards,

    Todd
