I would agree that the kilt, tee-shirt, sandals look is not traditional.

It seems to me that, no matter how traditional the kilt itself may be, if the rest of the outfit makes a departure from tradition it belongs in the modern sub-forum. The first picture was pushing the boundaries (nylon sporran, pv kilt, chukkas, straw hat) but seems to have remained within the general tolerance of tradition. To my eye, even the first picture was a bit of a borderline case and so I was very interested to read the responses from our respected Auld Crabbits...
