Aggressive reactions

It seems to me that maybe the lady is the one who needs psychiatric help. Its not her place to tell you what you should wear. You don't need a so called friend who isn't going to be comfortable with what you wear. Having said that, while I would probably have worn a kilt to a similar event, I'd probably have worn it with a casual top and I wouldn't have embellished it with the full Jacobite outfit.

I would have to agree. And the full outfit wouldn't be that comfortable IMHO.

Binx:
I would say that depends on what you describe as "the full outfit." There are many ways to portray a jacobite, and not all of them are great kilt+waist coat+coat+ bonnet+ tartan hose+brogues+frilly shirt+cravat. Did I miss anything there? One could wear a felidh beag, plus a nice shirt, and perhaps a cravat and a clean waist coat, and maybe a bonnet along with some period correct brogues and hose, and look very presentable, while not carrying around a ton of woolen products! Although if you were portraying a jacobite, and not just a well off clansman, the white cockade is sort of important (from what I have read).

Panache has a point ,but with friends like that who needs enemas :rolleyes:

Perhaps you meant Burqa?

We also would have accepted chador or hijab.

The person will have an underlying tendency to be outspoken anyway,
-He/she is very likely a conformist and,
-believes everyone else should be a conformist and,
-believes it is their place to influence others to their ideals.

He/she may also be emotionally affected with feelings of
-sexual intrigue and/or
-embarrassment and/or
-anger and/or
-levity
from your bold and non-standard attire.

And you just never know. This description fits my mother to a T, yet she keeps trying to talk her boyfriend into wearing a kilt.

I think you looked dashing, and that your "friend" is quite rude.

Vive et le vive!
