Style, Fashion Rules, traditions, Flat caps, and the missing element...

[JSFMACLJR]

Perhaps if I had more money or weighted 100+ pounds less I would be more of a traditionalist. But the fat tax on kilts and kilt related clothing make me be very creative most of the time. This might be part of the reason I often chaff when I interpret a statement as this is how you MUST wear a piece of clothing. I would like to but don't have the extra cash to purchase what is needed.

Money is often the canard used by some to say they cannot afford "traditional" clothing. Actually, it is more a matter of priorities. There is much to be said about saving one's coin for the better quality item. Scotus began a thread discussing this very concept, to which I draw your attention.

First I am not sure what a French duck has to do with the situation.
(yes bad joke)

Yes, it is a matter of priorities and based on my personal situation the family first priorities I have make many things out of my reach. I am very handy with needle and thread and would like to modify a thrift store jacket into a kilt jacket, but have not been able to find one in my size. I would like to have a tank in my family tartan but have higher family priorities than what the base cost would be much less the additional cost because of my size. I have been able to purchase a nice semi-traditional USA kilt and have made a couple of others, but to some these are not "traditional".

Maybe I do have the wrong priorities, I don't think so,
