I'm fairly new here and, I might add, very much the "traditional" kilt wearer.

I've been looking back over old posts for a while and I'd like to ask you all a question.

It comes over quite strong here that most people are against (and some quite strongly) white kilt hose and "jacobite" shirts but seem to be quite allright with someone dressed in a kilt with no belt, no sporran, no socks (of any kind) and a T shirt?

I don't like this casual kilting very much but "whatever floats your boat". Then again I do like these "jacobite" shirts (I have two at the moment and when funds allow I will be buying two more in different colors). I also have three pairs of off white (the color is officially called "ecru") hose that could be mistaken for white and I wear both the shirts and these off white hose regularly and with pride, and will continue to do so.

I seems funny to me that there are quite a few people against what I wear and who seem OK with the so called casual look where non of the accessories are remotely anything to do with Scottish attire or kilting.

Obviously, when attending formal functions one should make the effort to be correctly attired but shouldn't there be more give and take (live and let live) in our attitudes with regards to kilting?
