Please don't think I'm against your having your own opinions, but it's an observation that you feel that "proper attire"(your words) is being attacked ,and clearly in this post it wasn't, that poster obviously isn't one for the full black number, but he didn't say that other kilt wearer couldn't or shouldn't.
Paul,

Regardless of the original intention of the poster (and his replies regarding my initial reply do clarify his meaning), you must admit that there is some "inverse snobbery" at Xmarks regarding traditionalists. That was my point.

In regards to work clothes, yes, the kilt originally was "field kit" -- but like those who say that kilts must evolve or die, why can't a kilt evolve from "field kit" to "formal wear"? Remember, a traditional kilt can be used for both.

Respectfully,

Todd
