Honestly, I'm not going to lose sleep at night over whether you wear a SWK or a kilt from Kinloch Anderson, or if you place "comfort" above heritage. To some, "comfort" comes in tradition, while for others, comfort is a physical comfort. Horses for courses, after all. By implying that traditionalists are only about "rules & regulations", you're not returning the respect you ask of them. I have my own personal beliefs regarding Highland attire, but I am not going to say you're wrong in yours because they do not match mine -- my mother raised me better than that. We're all Jock Tamson's bairns after all.

If it came across that I wasn't returning respect for others' views on kilt-wearing (or anything else for that matter) then I apologise, because that wasn't my intent. I was merely stating that I don't believe there should be steadfast rules when it comes to wearing a kilt casually. Have all the rules you want for formal occasions but otherwise why not let people just wear a kilt with whatever as long as they're happy?
