This reminds me of my father who passed on in 1997. When I was a teenager the suit coats with skinny lapels and ties about an in wide were in fashion. My father, at that time bought a taylor made, double breated suit with wide lapels. He wore it with wide ties. When I ask him why he didn't get what was in style, he replied that he dressed in what he liked, and what looked good, not what was in fashion.
He was a WWII Navy veteran, and quickly corrected me one day when we were watching something on TV where there were men wearing kilts. I think I made some stupid remark about the "dresses" the men were wearing. He informed me about the Highland Regiments in WWII that earned the nickname "The Ladies from Hell." Although my father never wore a kilt, I could tell that it was a garment for which he had great respect.
