Thanks ThistleDown, I was considering, what I assume is your point, while I was typing my original post. That is, as in America, there is a wide band of personal preference and style in wearing traditional clothes. As the photo you provided evidenced, although a certain style may be more acceptable to Highland eyes, there is no set rule about patterns, colors, accessories, that is considered traditional and another, within reason, that is considered non-traditional.

But in answer to your question, none of those would be completely traditional to CA as we have no tradition of the kilt, however, and in line with my point, save for the balmoral and the cromach, the gentleman on the far right may seem to be more in line with the more common practice here of colors and patterns being more subtly toned and, dare I say, "matched". Therefore, perceived as less costumey and more "well dressed man in a kilt"

I see my error in equating what is more acceptable there, relative to patterns, colors etc., to what is more traditional. Damn you Guinea Pig hunters !

ThistleDown, since day one you have been a gentle hand in my education, and I truly appreciate your help.

Best regards,
