I strongly believe that offense is not the intention on either side of this debate. It is abundantly obvious from the preceding posts that there are great differences in how the various members perceive formality in regards to attire.

Now instead of this thread finally collapsing into outright nastiness I propose a cease fire.

The original topic has been well covered so without further word from either side of the equation why don't we retire from these chambers.

I think that we all could use a nice breather and perhaps if these discussions where housed in more specific areas all could find either common ground or at least the agreement to disagree.

What of it Gentlemen and Ladies?

Shall we shake hands and let this go?

I am

Cheers

I hope this does not break the peace treaty! Mods put this elsewhere if you feel you need to. Jamie you suggest different places for the different styles of kilt and that has to be worth a try. However I note in the thread above that you are suggesting "traditional kilt attire" from 1850 to 1960. You pose the date with a question mark ,so I assume this is up for debate? My suggestion is that "traditional kilt attire" should be open ended as I have pointed out on more than one occasion, it is worn today and therefore is current. Might I suggest the start a wee bit before your suggested date to coincide with the great tartan revival and have an open ended closing date to cover the traditional tartan kilt being worn by me at this present moment of time. Hope this helps and does not hinder.
