Re: Lederhosen...Germany's Kilt
Alas, though an American, I find the "Americanization" of world culture saddening: The blue jeans, T-shirt, Walmart, McDonald's-ization of everything and everyone. I get just as strange looks from people here if I wear a Tracten jacket as a kilt or worse still, even just a tweed sport coat with vest (waistcoat for you Brits), tie, moleskin slacks and actual leather shoes. The "official" uniform is blue-jeans (or shorts), T-shirt and flip-flops -- or athletic shoes for more "formal" occasions. Hardly anyone seems to have any "class," "style," or even "fashion" anymore -- just sloppy casual conformity. I was raised with the idea that how one dressed was a reflection of one's self respect and respect for others. Proper "ethnic" dress of any kind reflects that.
