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?

Logan is correct, I am looking for guidance with formal wear. Not exactly dictation, but a guideline so that I don't look like a pratt. Actually, I had an idea of what I should wear, but I would like an idea of how to do it properly.

I don't want to show up at a highland games wearing my doublet, jabot, fly plaid, et al and look like the person in the cartoon I mentioned earlier.

Remember, I used to go to Alexandria, VA's Scottish walk to watch people make fools of themselves by dressing inappropriately.

I was in jeans and wearing a Bannerman's Bar (http://www.bannermansgigs.co.uk/) t-shirt!

No, it's not about sock, it's about formal wear.

And, the kilt is not about freedom, it's the Scottish national dress.
