Yes which is the very antitheses of how Highland Dress can be seen to have been worn, and is still worn, by most Scots.
The things that I have noticed that Americans sometimes do are
-match colours of both the fabrics, and leathers. (Though there's plenty of matching also going on in the Scottish Kilt Hire shops.)
-have their kilts made with low-cut waists, or wear their kilts lower than what is traditional.
-wear numerous accessories.
-blend elements of historical Highland Dress with the existing modern traditional Highland Dress.
