But, BUT, there is a huge difference between that and a Gilbertian tartan outfit that some , particularly outwith Scotland’s shores, who insist on wearing these theatrical outfits , that do absolutely no favours to general kilt attire at all. Particularly when used as an example of “smart kilt attire”, when the less is more, is thought to be more in keeping. “Overegging the cake “
is generally not the thought to be necessary,wise or effective by knowledgeable observers .
Then let's keep it healthy and leave our “Gilbertian” comments out of the picture. Sounds a bit like “Albertan” by the way.
