Is there a a photo or a style that has strongly influenced you?

[Kilted Cole]

I was just wondering along the lines of personal taste, what or who has influenced your ideas and ideals of what you wish to portray as "Highland attire"? Modern take, "Traditional Highland Civilian Dress", your own functionality and whims.......I think you get where I'm going.
For me I'm all about functionalism over fashion, and not taking an absolutionistic approach on that my vision is the only vision of what is appropriate. I try to keep the "To each their own" mentality just because it doesn't benefit me to get all riled up over clothing, regardless of how strongly I may feel about a specific thing, or tradition, or principal......but I digress. Functionalism over fashion....there is a Painting of I believe Willie MacDuff is the gentleman's name in the painting. And as I have been told, the painter actually had to.........clean him up or tidy him up a tad to be more presentable. Now regardless as to how often he was or was not kilted in his actual life for me is beside the point. Its that I like the idea of the more rugged appearance, and the utilitarianism of the kilt its self. So, if there is a picture that has influenced you greatly, please do find and post it along with one of yourself.

And then me today.

I should also probably add "Duncan" (Hamish Clark) from Monarch of the Glen series has strongly influenced my casual wear for when I'm on the farm in the warmer months of the year.
