I don't know.... I dislike fur for ethical/spiritual reasons (same reasons I am vegetarian). I'm torn with the idea of the fact that it is faux so no harm no foul, but at the same time I'm not sure I like the idea of promoting the style. This has been a tough one for me, with all other forms of dress fur isn't seen as mandatory like it is with dress sporrans.

Shorts or under garments, Just don't feel right not regimental.

I dislike tartan flashes.

Here are 3 I do not like
1. Kilt hose "scrunched down"
2. The "Diamond" buttons on "Scots Jackets"
3. Fly Plaids.

You'll never see me in a Jacobite shirt.

I can not wear cream colored hose, unless it is a formal occasion. I, for some reason, look terrible in them. I love the black ones, however (sorry

)

I found the first pair I ever bought unceremoniously deposited on the bottom of a drawer, I wore them once but now wear solid colors. Didn't really think about "not preferring" them till I saw your post.

Scalloped pocket flaps and cuff ornamentation; epaulettes and square, overly shiny buttons. I really would prefer a more modern looking kilt jacket.

Oh, without a doubt, it has to be anything "overstated" as part of highland attire. Bling kilt pins, sporrans that look like the entire road kill is stuck to the front of your kilt, chrome plated anything (buttons, cantles, sgians dubh), cheap dirks with plastic hilts and coloured glass carbuncles masquerading as cairngoms, and-- of course-- WHITE and CREME SOCKS

I dislike sporrans because the bang on my front when I walk. In order to avoid this, I usually wear a vest with some pockets, or I wear a UK mocker with pockets.
My near hatred of "shower shoes" applies to wearing then with anything. I would rather get athlete's foot that wear them in a shower.
