Ghillie brogues, yes or no?

[Scotus]

Ghillie brogues don't fall into that category even though they are something of a throwback themelves. Everyone to his own, of course, but we do need to recognise that what is traditional, or "costumey", in one place may not be traditional or "Brigadooney" in another.

Thank you, ThistleDown. This is the point I was trying to make, in spite of JRB's less than mature response to my post. I realize what some are trying to say about ghillie brogues, but they are wrong to say they are costume-like, since they're a part of modern Scottish attire.

As Jamie correctly pointed out, the so-called kilt shirt is a modern invention, not a traditional part of Scottish attire, the view point I come from. However, this is a thread about ghillie brogues, so I'm not adressing the so-called kilt/Jacobite shirts, dirks, or anything else one might see being worn.

too Brigadoonish (or Brigadoony, if you will)

P.S. The proper term is "Brigadoonery."
