My great-grandfather was an Argyll during WWI, so I am well aware that many, many, many jocks paid the ultimate sacrifice whilst wearing their kilts and 'grubby' hose-grubby because they were constantly in the filth and mud, not on a pristine Edinburgh street. No disrespect here, not trying to exacerbate the issue, just responding.
Kyle you obviously have a passion about how the kilt should be worn and as I said in my piece, I admire your style. My point was about your sweeping statements that you posted, There were no exceptions or allowances made. As for the lecture about servicemen, I cannot see in any of my statements words that would cause you to think it was a lecture, but if you took it that way, my apologies.

As I have said I try to dress in a traditional manner myself, but at times I have worn pushed down hose, boots that are dirty and, god forbid, a flat cap.
I try to purchase quality items of outfit as finances allow, but I am sure my family will treasure and be proud to accept any of the kilts I have no matter what outfit I have worn them with. I wear all my kilts with the upmost respect and pride.

Perhaps one day we maybe able to share a dram and dicuss this
