"Brigadoonery"? "TCHD"? Who decides?

If I wear one of the so-called "ghillie shirts", it's not because I am trying to emulate a historical or piratical look. It is because it is a very comfortable and practical garment, loose and cool, and made of natural fibre, and it keeps the sun off my arms - an important consideration in Australia.

It is outside the context of the three classifications of kilted attire discussed at length elsewhere on the forum. (I've lost track of the most recent nomenclature, but if I indicate with Traditional/Historical/Contemporary, I think most will understand that context.) I am not seriously suggesting a fourth classification - hang it, most days I wear my kilt of the day with what suits the day - but in my mind, I am dressed in "plain, everyday kilted attire", and, as long as my clothing 1. is socially acceptable, and 2. is neat, then I don't lose any energy stressing about whether I am dressed correctly.

T'ink about dat one, as Guru Bob might say.

Fair enough. I've never said someone shouldn't wear the shirt, just that it's not traditional. One question though, would you wear this shirt with your trousers or shorts?
