    casual...

    I had an eloquent answer, yesterday, to Colin's original complaint about being picked on, but my computer locked up yesterday and I didn't feel like typing it all again. Essentially, he, and others, wear the equivalent of fine suits, while we wear jeans. We both represent examples of non-costume wear, but you and I advocate casual wear, while they advocate formal wear.
    I disagree. A traditional kilt can be worn "casually" as well as "formally". That is why they are so versitile. I wear my traditional "casually" (a la LL Bean and Woolrich) to games and other functions all the time. You can't really compare a traditional to a suit because of that very reason.

    Sure you can Todd. I used to wear my suit in many different ways.
    Shirt, tie, jacket - for very dressy
    dress shirt and jacket (no tie) - for a bit more casual
    slacks and dress shirt (maybe with a v neck sweater)- even more casual
    slacks and a golf shirt - very casual

    A suit is versatile for a lot of different occasions, but usually still looks classier than a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I'm not going to wear a suit gardening, but I likely wouldn't wear a kilt for that either.
