untraditional traditions

[Jock Scot]

I don't believe there is a THCD equivalent to shorts, t-shirt, and sneakers, though, I guess everyone has a different definition of "appropriate casual attire". FWIW, I wear shorts, t-shirts, and athletic shoes only when I'm PT'ing. Otherwise, I consider t-shirts an undergarment, so I don't wear them outside the house. Likewise, I only wear athletic shoes when actually doing athletics. At their high prices, I can't see putting daily wear and tear on what is, to me, a specialized piece of gear for running.

In terms of casual clothing, though, I do wear polo shirts, shorts, and leather camp-mocs around during the summer and would simply replace the shorts with kilt and kilt hose for casual kilted wear. Perhaps something like that is a better analogy.

I think you all need to remember that we don't suffer, in Scotland, the same sort of humidity and heat that many of you experience. If it gets warm in Scotland, I am not sure it could ever be described as hot, by some of your definitions! The THCD would be long shirt sleeves with sleeves rolled up, tie off and top button of the shirt undone. Hose would be up to traditional height and black brogues would still be worn as would kilt belt and sporran. In many ways you chaps in your type of weather have already started to make your own traditions.
