					My standard attire would be khakis, leather shoes (always), and polo or dress shirt--unless I am going to court, and then it's a suit and dress shoes.
 WFor tartan day I'll probably wear my Weathered Robertson, the recently purchased pig skin sporran, and my new red hose. (If it's too hot, the new hose will have to stay home.) I'll also wear a khaki shirt or polo shirt or something similar.
 
 This is an older photos of the outfit; you can tell I really like it since i wear it so often in warm weather.
 
 
  
 I usually wear a regimental tam instead of the glengarry, but my wife likes the glen, so I wear it if she's around.

	I have to tell you, David, that I used to teach in an alternative high school with some tough kids, and once they got over the initial shock of my kilt, they all liked it. It created a lot of "teaching moments."

 If it works in an alternative school, it might be OK in the choir room, too.

					I teach (and was long an administrator) at a large university, where I can get away with wearing just about anything. I've worn a kilt - much as I've worn trousers or jeans - with scrunched socks and workboots, and with jacket and tie. I've worn t-shirts with provocative slogans, and a unique outfit (trousers, shirt, jacket) created for me by a local designer. I even taught a class on drag and gender performance wearing a bright red crinoline and 4" heels. That is, while I can be very low key (really, I can!) I often dress to 'suit' the occasion, and the subject at hand. (And yes, I have occasionally had to deal with complaints, but generally the students respond really well.) This fall I get to teach an entire course on Macbeth and its various cultural adaptations...
