An honest question

[BBNC]

Where I live there is a group of guys who dress in old west clothing, carry six guns, and shoot at each other with blanks for little shows. That would be OK but they dress like that all the time and they act like they are from back then. Constantly dressing like they are from the past while not in a play/living history setting makes them appear nuts. This may be how others view a person in a great kilt while not in a play/living history setting.

In my younger days, I trained horses, and worked the horse shows in New York State. Sure I wore western (or English style ) wear when appropriate, but I didn't otherwise pretend to be a westerner or English gentleman, We referred to those who did as "drugstore cowboys."

As far as a great kilt goes, there are events where such may be appropriate, but not as everyday traditional Scottish wear.
