"Classic" in fashion to me means those things that have stood the test of time, they are timeless garments that look as good today as they did when they first originated.

Tartan doublets, while very sharp, very bold, and very cool, are traditional but not classic. They are too far from what the mainstream considers "The Look" for Highland attire.

White hose and fly plaids while in fashion now have yet to achieve "classic" status. They have been around better than 25 years but only time will tell if they will still be worn or seen as good looking 50 years from now.

Will the pin stripe kilt suits of Howie Nicholsby (which I personally love) make the cut or be seen in the same light as the "Miami Vice look" of the early eighties?

XMTS explores the traditional, the classic, and the cutting edge.

We promote it all and inform the world of all the kilted options out there.

In the end it is up to the individual to make the choice what they like, and only Time will declare which looks last and which looks will remain confined to their respective eras.

Cheers
