Can it be Modern?

Dude, you're trying to rock so many different colors AND patterns at the same time that it reminds me of my buddy who is color-blind. Your traditional really isn't that traditional and your modern isn't that modern. The sporran needs to stay but the clips need to go.

Hate to tell you - but patterned shirts (especially windowpane, tattersall, and check) and ties (especially regimental stripe) are very, very traditional with kilts.

In this opinion, 'tis a glorious and joyful thing, the kilt is being tried in so many fabrics, cuts, weights, styles, with varied headgear, shirts, sweaters, jackets, hose, footwear.

Hooray to those boldly doing their bits to move kilts into true fashion acceptability, if not mainstream.

Not from any photos I've seen on this website. And I presume a tie in a regimental stripe would be in colors that match the regimental tartan. A regimental stripe tie is very different from what Electrickilt is wearing. Electrickilt is wearing a very common, garden-variety vest, tie, and dress shirt but IMHO they are not in the patterns, colors, or fabrics that you would "traditionally" wear with a kilt.

Jock Scot could clear it up for us, but I think you're mistaken on the shirt. That's a very traditional pattern/style for wearing with the kilt.

What makes it non-traditional, though, is the collar. It buttons down.

The shirt in the series in the OP? Well, in my opinion and assuming that the collar IS NOT button down(I can't see clearly) then you would be hard put to find a more traditional shirt. If, on the other hand, the collar were to be button down, well, it may be traditional American, but NOT traditional Highland attire.
