    The overall effect is certainly a couple of notches above the usual attire - even in kilts which tend to elevate the game somewhat.
    I do find that when putting on a kilt I make different choices - particularly in what shoes to wear.

    These days I even put on the replacement Tilley hat I was sent after the old one wore out. I think that puts me into the 'officially old' category for all purposes. You can't really argue with having worn out a Tilley hat as an indication of age creeping up on you.
    I still cling to the old one - even though it looks a bit disreputable these days. Some people display images of their spirit animal, I wear my spirit hat.
    I do have some fairly fancy hose, but I only wear them with ankle length garments for fear of frightening the horses....
