I don't see what the big deal is. When I was in the service we had uniforms that were refered to as "Dress". Dress Blues, Dress Whites and when we dress, we are 'dressed' or of course we can be 'kilted'. But the word 'dress' can mean a few different things or is meaningless.
Imagine someone getting angry if someone says they look very well dressed...? Or, "He always dresses well"...? Often my wife and I 'dress' to go out to dinner. See? It means nothing or many things depending on your own attitude.
Now, that having been said I will confess one of my prejudices. I have seen these new "Pin striped" Kilts and jackets and as much as I have tried to understand the idea behind them I can only see an imitation of a woman's business skirt and jacket imitating a man's pin striped business suit, to me it just doesn't in any way look like it should be lumped in with kilts, it's just too far off track IMHO.
Chris. :confused:
