Even in the Hebrides

Once again we see critiscism of the ecru hose , lacks tradition . May I ask what makes tradition ? Ecru , I doubt would be worn by poor folk much before washing machines , I think blue or grey would be a better colour for everyday hose , as they show the dirt less . Personally I think tradition comes through circumstance and necessity . As for a the amount of different plaids in the photo amounting to hire rigs , I tend to look at it differently , if only 1 tartan on show I think its hire get up to look the same , but at a wedding you would expect multiple tartans from families and areas ! Personally speaking I think most of the gentlemen in the photos looked pretty damn smart.

We agree. I re-read my post and my syntax was ambiguous. This is what I was trying to say, not the opposite.
