I'm not sure I care for your description of someone wearing the balmoral as a "kilted anachronism" -- or on second thought, perhaps I do, as I would much rather be an "kilted anachronism" then a "fashionista" any day.

Regardless of where you live, if you choose to wear a kilt, which is part of Highland dress, then you should at least be respectful of its conventions -- being an American is not an excuse for being disrespectful, regardless of how many of our countrymen do it overseas or at home.

Cheese it, the kilt kops are here.

Now wearing a flat cap with a kilt in your own country is somehow disrespectfull? It not like I am pissing on the Stone of Scone or anything. Afterall, it is just a hat. And a kilt is just a kilt.

Levi's were built for American farmers, cowboys, and general outdoors working men a century and a half ago. Folks wear Levi's everyday with whatever shirts, hats, jewelry, sunglasses,coats and shoes they like. I can't imagine ever feeling that it was disrespectful to this historic American icon ( a cherished part of our heritage we Yanks all hold so close to our hearts that we wear them or their like nearly every day) for wearing whatever a person wanted to wear with them.

I love the way these threads get heated up sometimes.
