    I'd wear just about any garment in my tartan. I bet I could make tartan cargo shorts work in an outfit. I have three styles of shirt that I regularly wear.

    I'm kind of off cargo shorts though. They are a little bit done. If I was going to wear tartan shorts, I'd probably prefer a more streamlined style.

    Hmm, skin tight tartan shorts. Maybe cut on the bias for stretch, sort of like a cut-off version of traditional trews?

    Now that​ I'd like to see!

    Yikes! I should have specified any style of garment that I would wear, I would probably wear in tartan in the right context. These skin tight shortrews you speak of...nobody needs to see that!

    Still...I might consider them as an alternative to Regimental preferences should modestly be a concern.
