It's the American Way to take the best of what each culture has to offer and blend it together. Texans, though we try to maintain some distinction, are Americans. Today it's a kilt covering my loins because it's the best damned garment to do it and it's a Cowboy Hat on my head because it's the best damned garment for it. I'll be the most comfortable and best dressed for the sun and heat on the job today.

Will I look funny? No, no .... I'll just look like an American. And, as amazing as this may be, I'll get compliments all day everywhere I go. There is no single tradition to be respected here, only countless traditions to be appreciated and enjoyed. Mixing these traditions in your own unique fashion is one of the halmarks of the Rugged Individual celebrated here.

Tiss not a project to be dropped, ney, tis the very strength of the United States of America (cue the band!)

Having said all that I still must admit that no kilt looks sharper than when worn with all the traditional items that go with it ... except maybe the Western Blend I described before.

Kilt On!
