i know it is judgmental, but meh.....
And you don't think your reaction is a little OTT?

I cannot see how wearing a piece of traditional Highland garb, no matter how off-putting you personally find it, groups the wearer into the "ren-faire" camp. It's already been said that most DIY ones are NOT of the first order, and even those who like them feel that to pull it off properly a full mask SHOULD be excellently made.

You don't like them, we get that. There's no need for name calling.
