I would like to submit a proposal to the membership

My concern is that most of what I see at American Highland games is not THCD. If you categorize by the type of event, then you'll have a wide range of clothing worn to that event, much of it by folks who simply don't know better. Jut because someone attends a Highland games does not mean thy are dressed traditionally. We've defined THCD and have folks working on a photo-essay. I think the Trad forum is good as-is. Perhaps the non-traditional kilt folks can weigh in about any changes they'd want in their subforum.

Steve,

I like the idea you are proposing, I usualy wear my kilts to 1) special events: weddings; receptions; company holiday parties, and formal Mardi Gras Balls. 2) highland or celtic themed events: games, celidhs, concerts, etc. 3) the after race socials (5K, 10K, 1/2 marathons, etc); much cooler/warmer in a kilt than clothes worn during the race.

I think that my categories 1 and 2 would fit into your "Highland Event Wear" category, though some might think that the Mardi Gras Balls would fall under the "Historical and Costume Wear" and my category 3 would fit under "Modern Street Wear"

So, there probably needs to be some refining...maybe something like a formal/semi formal section..

just an idea....
