You may not take me to dinner dressed like that
That was my mother's response. Unfortunately due to the lighting and position you cannot see that the tie and flashes are the same green as in the kilt and the detail of my sporran. The sporran by the way is the work of XMarks member LPF.

What was her objection to the outfit? I'm guessing the kilt was not made in Scotland. One thing that bothers me about that attitude is that if it were not for the Scottish Diaspora the kilt would not be enjoying the resurgence it is having today. I say this as a Canadian whose parents were both born is Scotland, I have also worn the kilt on a daily basis for 5 years, when my job allowed it.

So did you go to dinner alone? 
It's not an uncommon reaction to a person being newly kilted.

My Ma is lovely, but she is about to turn 87 and has a certain inflexibility of ideas, which it is not my place to disabuse her of. At this stage of her life, my only concern is that she is happy.

I would have done, but for the advice I received on this forum about the length of jacket. Not to worry, all of this is about to be fixed to her satisfaction before her next visit.

Dressing up in a kilt, with a tie, for dinner... you should be wearing a jacket! Maybe that was her objection?
(Or maybe it was the white hose?)

That sounds perfect to me.

It is simply too casual. Yes the lack of appropriate jacket was the problem.
