The Importance of knowing the Rules of Kilted Fashion

[DWFII]

It seems that these conventions (like most fashion trends) often have their roots in the merchants that sell and rent kilts, both in the UK and elsewhere. I would suspect that this probably was true in the past as well. Just as a somewhat neutral example, I may hold the view (learned from this forum) that belts don't go with waistcoats when wearing a PC, but if the catalogs keep showing them worn together, and kilt shops keep providing them with PC rental packages, then eventually this view may become the minority view, and so it goes, fashions change.

It bear repeating (post #129):

Those of us who do admire and wish to wear highland dress not only owe it to history but to the Scottish culture not to thumb our noses at that culture and those conventions.

especially not in pursuit of, or at the behest of those who pursue, the Yanqui dollar....

IMHO
