    Civilian Attire vs. Uniforms and Costumes

    Guys, just remember that this forum is/should be about civilian attire, and not about military uniforms, band uniforms, or Highland costumes worn by performers, etc. which properly belong in other forums.

    I think Steve pretty much nailed it when he locked in on the period 1900-1980 as defining what most consider as "traditional" Highland attire, with the real emphasis (in my opinion) being on those classic styles developed in the 1930s and still worn today. To be sure some of us may accessorize with antique military sporrans or contemporary kilt pins, but these are mere fillips to what is traditional Highland attire.
