What is Traditional Highland Dress?
This is "the place to talk about Traditional and Classic Highland Apparel and Style," right? But what does that actually mean?
There is precedent for the discussions to centre around post-WWI civilian attire, though I haven't seen any written rule to that effect. There seem to me to be other types of traditional or classic Highland apparel and style that don't have another home on this site...
When anyone posts in this section about pipers, the military, pre-20th century dress, or contemporary style, they are usually chastised for being off-topic. It seems to me, however, that these are important aspects of Highland attire. At the very least they are important influences.
I'm not talking about fullest, uniform regalia; overblown, Romantic-era, historical attire; or modern, runway fashion, which might go more on the Historical or Modern sections of Xmarks. I mean situations where pipers are wearing outfits that are similar to what their kilted audience might wear. Or some types of mess dress that are also not so different from what civilians wear. Or historical attire that is very nearly the same as modern attire. Or contemporary variations on tradition that don't entirely break with convention.
I recognize that the nature of tradition is conservative but why can't there be room here for broader discussion of all aspects of Highland attire?
