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

[turpin]

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…
