And they call it heritage . . .

[tripleblessed]

Quite amusing. Clearly a pair of boots like those would call for a truly outstanding pair of kilt hose. Big faux pas.

It occurs that perchance "they" call it heritage because it is heritage - theirs. And are we not all the conflation of our roots?

Or maybe it's just that we don't see this often enough done well, or at least better. After all as someone posted on another
current thread, "Familiarity tends to control the psychology of what we like.". I don't know how to import a quote from another
thread to this one, but in this context that poster might prefer to remain anonymous.

Father Bill, I'll seriously ask a real cowboy if he would wear a kilt, this Sunday at church. I'll be debuting my MacLaren kilt, but will wear a breech-cloth as Moses ordered. Some of my good friends at church are the real thing, never having known any other thing than a working saddle for their vocation, bowed legs, far away look in their eyes.

Just got done visiting a real cowboy who a couple of years ago, when he was loading hay on my truck for a horse he just sold me, ripped the stitches out of his two recently cut-off fingers and just shrugged it off, tying a bandana around the stumps.

My Dad was with me in from the East Coast. Dad grew up on dime cowboy novels, and talks about meeting this real cowboy to this day. The cowboy claims Spanish, Anglo, and Buffalo Soldier ancestry.
