Where to get a high quality Ghillie Shirt (100% cotton)

[Janner52]

At the end of the day you have to ask yourself “Is this something I would choose to wear as my normal everyday dress?” Or is the correct question more like “I feel like I am already in fancy dress wearing a kilt so wearing a ‘pirate shirt’ adds to the overall impression”
Posts such as Panache’s definitely convey this view that it is something to wear when wishing to give a fancy dress impression for whatever reason but not, maybe, for everyday wear.

I get the point you are trying to make here. In some quarters there is a belief that the kilt is a “national costume” and as such must be worn with specific items of clothing. We see this in the traditional dress of other countries.

In so far as the kilt is concerned this is not the case. It is very much a stand alone garment. The clothing worn with it has evolved along with the current fashion trend and presumably will continue to to do so. It is not something that must be dressed up as a costume.

Having said that it is important to try and maintain the standards that help to define the kilt. Examples being its relationship with tweed and its ability to be worn in a casual manner, as a part of formal dress and as a part of of military uniform.
