I am not unsympathetic to the cost argument, however there are many in the highlands that are able to turn out properly in their handmedowns and there is no stigma involved with that, or what they have skimped and saved to buy and the highlands can hardly be described as being awash with money. Neither am I unsympathetic to the argument of not wanting to wear your finery to rio-- ooops sorry, football matches. It is those that attend rather quieter functions dressed appallingly in some shoddy kilt and attire, that cause great offence to many.
