Traditional traditionalists?

[davidlpope]

I move my opinion of "traditional" further than Panache. Of the two pictures that he posted neither look is what I consider traditional.

In short, any look influenced by the climate of any country that is not Scotland probably wouldn't fit in with that tradtional look.

I agree. Traditional Highland Civilian Dress (THCD) is just that. Civilian kilted attire as it is traditionally worn in the Highlands. Although there may be some adaptations for warm weather in the US- forgo the jacket, roll up the shirt sleeves a bit, perhaps lose the necktie on really hot days- much variation from what is traditionally worn in the Highlands would make it a different animal.

Here's an old thread that might be of interest:
