Yes I am a traditionalist, I'm not ashamed of that. However, I did not dictate to anyone.. I simply pointed out that your interpretation was flawed. The kilt is NOT a symbol of freedom... it is the national dress of Scotland, and second, if tartan hose is too "busy", than what do you think of tartan?

This was the question which started this tread.

At first glance, it would appear that DoK is looking for information on proper traditional dress. So I guess he is looking for dictation on what to wear. You do not seem to be interested in conforming to traditional dress, so why did you bother with this tread?
