Traditional Highland Dress

[CMcG]

Yes, me too.


I note that the silence from the powers that be on this subject that has been aired fairly comprehensively now and might I add courteously throughout, is almost deafening.I would be interested on their thoughts on this matter.

Yes, their silence on this matter has been very loud...

If you entirely remove the date range, what would differentiate the Traditional sub-forum (by whatever name it is called) from the Historical Highland Attire sub-forum?

Perhaps I am wrong, but most of the norms of what is deemed traditional attire on this forum date from the time period indicated in the current title of the sub-forum. So, while the date range might not please everyone, it does serve an honest purpose.

If the title is to be changed to avoid confusion or conflict with another sub-forum, do so without creating a similar situation with a third sub-forum.

In a nutshell, THCD is still very much current. Also, the tradition did not begin suddenly with the reign of Edward VII nor did it stop in the 1980's.

The date ranges are more apt for the Historical and Modern sub-forums, so the timeline should remain in their descriptions. In this way and taken as a whole, the How To Wear The Kilt sub-forums would have a date range without pigeonholing THCD inaccurately.
