Maybe I'm just getting older but when is casual TOO casual

Man you got them hose all wrong. You need a pair of those toe socks.

Toe socks?

Darest thou refer to the most wonderful of footwear, the Vibram Five Fingers?

Why, Grant, I never thought I'd have the opportunity to say this, but ye olde Fuddye Duddye!

Seriously, though, Five Fingers rock. It's like being barefoot, only you can step on broken beer bottles without a visit to the ER. They change how you stand, how you walk, how you feel. (Dang, I'm sounding like a cultist, aren't I?)

Ron's the man!
Ron you definitely live life to the kilt, ,,,er I mean hilt. Wait, maybe they're the same.

I dress casually but, then again, I only have casual kilts.

Although rare in Canada I own two pair. My kayaking five fingers are on the tight side, my other fit and feel wonderful. Old still, but not so much as a fuddy duddy now, eh?

I have these. I love these. They are the most comfortable shoes ever.

But if I have to wear regular shoes I wear these Toe Socks
A little expensive, but they keep my toes from rubbing against each other, and I don't get blisters anymore.

I have no problem with kilt + T-shirt or polo, even at Highland Games while representing my clan, in our area with the summer's high temperatures and humidity.

What I can't understand is why some people insist on kilt, jacket, and vest at those same games. I see them clustering in any available shade, complaining loudly about the heat.

I try to let common sense rule…

A hallmark of the Scottish character has always been the exercise of common sense. It's even enshrined in the philosophical texts of the Scottish enlightenment (OK, I'm just finishing "How the Scots Invented the Modern World" so shoot me).

Dress appropriate to the occasion AND the weather. If the kilt is a given, then the rest of the outfit adjusts to accomodate the occasion, the circumstances and your own level of comfort. ALWAYS strive to look good. If it's a T-shirt then FGS make it a good one, sans holes and stains.

Usually a T with our clan badge embroidered on the breast, or a plain T in ancient red to match the small stripe in my tartan, if I'm going out in public.

I only wear the holed and stained ones with an old PV kilt (with matching holes and stains) when I'm working on a motorcycle…
