At the risk of bringing this thread back to the question of rules or guidelines I would offer my kilted (tilted) experience. My first kilt was purchased for my oldest daughters wedding, an afternoon to evening affair. I took a couple of months looking, delving into family history, finally deciding Tartan, package purchase, and supplier. The icon picture shows the results. In order to wear this large investment properly and with the dignity befitting it and my ancestors I consulted a number of publications. The book the aided me the most was 'So You're Going to Wear the Kilt' by J. Charles Thompson 3rd edition. Keep in mind that this was a formal affair and in itself had rules, guideline, etiquette...
Since then I have purchased two more kilts of the 'casual' type, a UTILIKILT for black powder shoots or roughing about, and a SPORTKILT for Irish fests and Highland games. As time goes on I will assuredly purchase more kilts with certain occasions in mind or tartan selections.

My point is that common sense should rule the day. I certainly would not wear my formal dress kilt to a black powder match and visa versa. For some subtitlies, as happens on this site, questions of protocol are posed. Not all quandries can be resolved through books, because after all sometimes different authors disagree. So we throw out a line hoping for reinforcement or clarification. Style is dependant upon the occasion, that is the more formal the affair the more formal the dress, the stricter the rules.

I thank all members who grab that line and pin a note to it.

My regards to all,
