Exactly so, thank you. At my stage in life, I doubt that I shall change now and frankly, I see absolutely no need to change.  lol:

I thought of this thread yesterday, when I drove to a cemetery to pipe at a funeral.
I got there well before everyone else, to "get some air in the pipes" and let the them acclimate.
It dawned on me that I had arrived in a "casual kilt outfit" in shirtsleeves, rolled up sleeves, with a bucket hat and sunglasses due to the strong sun.
The bucket hat and sunglasses came off, the sleeves got rolled down, the kilt jacket and bonnet went on, and voila I was in smart traditional attire to begin piping.

Happened again the next day, yesterday.
At 9am I arrived at Pipe Band rehearsal in kilt, hose, shoes, sporran, shirtsleeves, sunglasses, and bucket hat.
At noon we all met at a restaurant to celebrate a band-mate's birthday. To be a bit more smart I left the hat and sunglasses in the car and put on a waistcoat.
At 4pm I was adding tie, jacket, and bonnet and began piping at a memorial service.
